Inhaltsangabe
Paris - with its subtle moods, elegant charm, and sensual allure - inspires artists and visitors like no other city. Writers in particular have often sought to capture both its much-loved and private faces. A Place in the World Called Paris is an unprecedented collection of the twentieth century's most distinguished authors, each revealing a special facet of the City of Light. More than 170 short excerpts from fiction, poetry, essays, and memoirs presents fresh and unexpected views of Paris: Franz Kafka on riding the Metro; Truman Capote on visiting Colette in her apartment in the Palais-Royal; Jane Kramer on Parisian style; Claude Debussy and Rainier Maria Rilke on the Luxembourg Gardens; E.B. White on the Liberation; and Maya Angelou on Paris nightlife. Susan Sontag, in the foreword, evokes both the real and longed-for Paris, where she lived on and off for many years. Miles Hyman has created atmospheric charcoal drawings that introduce each section of the book. And Steven Barclay has lent his special vision of the city to this book through his insightful selection of pieces and his intimate preface.
