Paris (Penguin Modern Classics)

A series of short meditations on Paris and very poetic. If it is possible to transmit the mood of a city then this book does it. It is evocative and elegiac taking the mundane and the uplifting and in a few words opening them up. The English text is set along side the French. A pleasure to read

I read a review of this book and felt I would like to read it. I have read it and it is a fascinating account of Paris in the 30's and 40's and what makes it a more interesting book is having the original in French in addition to the English translation. Anyone who has an appreciation of Paris would enjoy having this on the bookshelf.

Impressed with the lay out and loved reading the french and english simultaneously. Mr greens langage is slightly flowery an whimsical but he capture parts of paris.

Amazing book, well-protected during delivery

Not yet read but like the adjacent pages with English and French... good for a [basic] language learner like moi!
