Thirty-two writers share their observations and revelations about the world's most seductive city. "Whether you have lived in Paris or not, this captivating collection will transport you there." —National Geographic Traveler Paris is “the world capital of memory and desire,” concludes one of the writers in this intimate and insightful collection of memoirs of the city. Living in Paris changed these writers forever. In thirty-two personal essays—more than half of which are here published for the first time—the writers describe how they were seduced by Paris and then began to see things differently. They came to write, to cook, to find love, to study, to raise children, to escape, or to live the way it’s done in French movies; they came from the United States, Canada, and England; from Iran, Iraq, and Cuba; and—a few—from other parts of France. And they stayed, not as tourists, but for a long time; some are still living there. They were outsiders who became insiders, who here share their observations and revelations. Some are well-known writers: Diane Johnson, David Sedaris, Judith Thurman, Joe Queenan, and Edmund White. Others may be lesser known but are no less passionate on the subject. Together, their reflections add up to an unusually perceptive and multifaceted portrait of a city that is entrancing, at times exasperating, but always fascinating. They remind us that Paris belongs to everyone it has touched, and to each in a different way.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ... IX. SOME OF THE LATER ENGLISHMEN The Lesson of Laurence Sterne--The France of Kipling's "The Light That Failed"--The Trail of Stevenson--"R. L. S." in Paris, Fontainebleau, and Grez--Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Brigadier Gerard--" The Refugees"--Leonard Merrick's Tricotrin and His Haunts--The Paris of Arnold Bennett--The Writing of "The Old Wives' Tale"--W. J. Locke's "The Beloved Vagabond" and "Septimus"--Mr. Locke on His Own Characters. SINCE Laurence Sterne made the discovery that "they order this matter better in France," and wrote the "Sentimental Journey," English men of letters of all conditions and degrees of talent have been turning to the near-by land for direct inspiration and for occasional background. There is a Sir Walter Scott France in the pages of "Quentin Durward." The conventional beginning of a novel by G. P. R. James pictured two horsemen riding along a river bank, and in most cases the river bore a Gallic name. Whatever the political sympathies of Disraeli may have been, as a writer of fiction he invariably endowed his characters with a sympathetic appreciation of French art, literature, wines, and sauces. To mention only one of the novels of Bulwer-Lytton, there was the tale bearing the title: "The Parisians." Another Lytton wrote "Aux Italiens," beginning with the somewhat hackneyed lines "In Paris it was, at the Opera there." Essentially French was the genius of George Meredith. The story of Dickens and Thackeray in Paris and the French scenes and characters in their books has already been told, and the story of George Du Maurier and the city by the Seine that was so charmingly reflected in the pages of "Trilby," "Peter Ibbetson," and "The Martian." What of the younger men--the men of today or of the recent...

Through George Orwell's firsthand accounts, readers are exposed to the harsh realities of life as a member of the destitute underclass. Orwell works various menial jobs, as dishwasher and plongeur in Parisian restaurants, and encounters a cast of characters from all walks of life. These include fellow down-and-outs, as well as the exploitative and indifferent employers and landlords who profit from their desperation. Down and Out in Paris and London sheds light on the daily challenges faced by those living in poverty, from the constant struggle to secure food and shelter to the lack of dignity and respect afforded to the working poor. Orwell's experiences also serve as a critique of societal structures and attitudes that perpetuate poverty and inequality, offering insight into the systemic failures that marginalize and oppress the most vulnerable members of society. GEORGE ORWELL was born in India in 1903 and passed away in London in 1950. As a journalist, critic, and author, he was a sharp commentator on his era and its political conditions and consequences.
