Untold Paris - John Baxter - Bog - Quarto Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Nobody knows the city of light like Paris resident and travel writer John Baxter – and nobody is able to write about its culture quite so intriguingly. Let him guide you around the Paris you’ve always wanted to know. How was Ernest Hemingway received by the city he wrote so much about, and where did he rub shoulders with other literary greats? Are Parisian waiters really as rude as their reputation, and why do they race each other down the street in the annual Course des Garcons de Café? And where can you find fascinating remnants of the city’s history of violent revolution, jazz music, and bold artistic movements ? From the reality of the city’s café culture and its literary luminaries, to some of its more curious landmarks, obscure events and unusual inhabitants, Untold Paris will give the first-time visitor a vivid impression of the city and offer seasoned travellers a new vision of the city they love . The people, the quirks, peculiarities, charms and eccentricities ; the history and secrets. Welcome to the untold Paris. Praise for John Baxter's previous work: We'll Always Have Paris: Sex and Love in the City of Light – "towers above most recent memoirs of life abroad" Sunday Times. The Perfect Meal: In Search of the Lost Tastes of France – International Association of Culinary Professionals Award, “Full of humor, insight, and mouth-watering details… a delightful tour of traditional French culture and cuisine.” Travel and Leisure .

How to Read London - Chris Rogers - Bog - Quarto Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

How to Read London - Chris Rogers - Bog - Quarto Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Over 2,000 years of settlement give London its unique architectural heritage. Unlike Haussmann’s Paris, neither monarch nor politician imposed their will; private ownership and enterprise shaped the city and defined its parts. Elegant West End squares and crescents hallmark the Classical townscape that emerged between 1600 and 1830, but medieval, Tudor and Victorian enclaves identified by occupation, class or guild make their own design statement, notably in the City and East End. From its renewal after the Great Fire of 1666 as a centre of commerce, culture, finance and as a railway hub, the seat of power and law, How to Read London reveals through the built environment how London’s domestic, civic and commercial landscape has evolved and adapted from imperial capital to global city.
