Combining the raconteur’s ear for a story with a historian’s command of the facts, he introduces an incomparable cast of characters: the literati, the philosophers and the artists—Balzac, Baudelaire, Blanqui, Flaubert, Hugo, Maney, and Proust, of course; but also Doisneau, Nerval and Rousseau.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a Paris dyed a deep red in its convictions. It is haunted and vitalized by the history of the barricades, which Hazan retells in rich detail. The Invention of Paris opens a window on the forgotten byways of the capital’s vibrant and bloody past, revealing the city in striking new colors.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":null,"offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34884101472301,"sku":"1 at Jess'","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0001\/8989\/products\/1_95809904-f888-4607-b890-da8bfc95ce6a.jpg?v=1602575733","url":"https:\/\/shop.redflag.org.au\/products\/the-invention-of-paris-nbsp-a-history-in-footsteps","provider":"Red Flag Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
