Acerca de esta escucha

 The Paris, Paris Timeline brings Paris and its history to life.

The streets, courtyards, monuments, museums, churches, parks, gardens and riverbanks of Paris are living volumes open to anyone able to read them. With this concise, quirky volume you have key dates and the cast of characters at your fingertips, plus the city’s major sites and historic events, from Ancient Gaul and Julius Caesar’s conquest in 52 BC to Napoleon or Charles de Gaulle and the current mayor of the city, Anne Hidalgo, the first-ever woman mayor of Paris.

The City of Light may well be the modern capital of one of the world’s richest, most industrialized nations, a vast sprawl with over 12 million inhabitants. Yet traces of the megapolis’s 2,000-year+ history crop up in countless places, and in the peculiar behavior, habits and curious customs of Parisians.

That’s because Paris lives in the historical present, one foot in the present, the other in the past.

How to use this book? Easy. Pick a time period or a historical theme, an event or a specific date, a character important to French history, or a site, then read the entries that interest you and hit the streets. Wherever you go, you will find something to transport you down a time tunnel of your own making.

Or kick back in your favorite armchair and cruise the centuries through the words in The Paris, Paris Timeline, navigating the city past and present.

Why Paris, Paris and not just plain old Paris? The Paris, Paris Timeline stands alone. It can also be enjoyed as a companion volume to the critically acclaimed evergreen essay collection Paris, Paris: Journey into the City of Light, still in print (and in pixels and audio) and still selling briskly after almost twenty years and over a dozen reprints.
