The Invention of Paris: A History in Footsteps by Eric Hazan, translated by ...
, I can place myself not just topographically, but temporally, in this city. I know that the lines of some of the nearby streets have not changed since the Middle Ages, that in this area were, in Hazan's words, "cabinetmakers, carvers, gilders, polishers and turners." There was also a royal manufactory of wallpaper, and when wages were reduced in April 1789 there was an uprising. Troops intervened, several people died, and the incident is seen as a "prelude to the revolution."Any visit to this city would be made richer by taking the time to read Hazan's book . , and through the visual image.
Despite the book's bulk, you finish it feeling hungry for more knowledge about Paris -- more about the names and streets, and the history, politics, and players. Hazan continually whets your appetite. The Grands Boulevards, for example, are covered in just seventeen pages: "In a movement of taste that accompanied dandies, whores, journalists, and gourmets in their migration to the Boulevards, a new romanticism made its appearance..." The modern city began to appear: the first Paris public transport line, newspaper kiosks, cab ranks, and gaslight. Hazan cites Baudelaire's Paris Spleen on the gaslight: "The cafe was sparkling. The gaslight itself sent forth all the ardour of a debut and lit with all its force walls blinding in their whiteness..." Because of the gaslight, there was a new nocturnal life. Professional "noctambulists" were nighttime guides. In the 1850s cafes began to set tables on terraces in the Boulevards.
On Boulevard Montmartre roamed literary folk and dandies; there were literary salons and a bookshop, a theatre and cafes (popular at the absinthe hour). On the Boulevards, too, were the great romantic theatres, there were "jugglers, conjurors, dwarves, giants, skeleton-men, ugly customers, boiling oil" (according to Félix and Louis Lazare).
The Boulevards are an example of the fact that there could be whole books devoted to each of the areas Hazan covers. Reading The Invention of Paris , you're left with a broad, rich impression of the city's entire history -- and a history drawn not just from historical study, but that of art, poetry, fiction, and photography.
I've only been to Paris once before, for a few days in 2008. I didn't know much about the French Revolution and the ongoing struggles. The section on Red Paris is spirited and moving. So many names, so much blood and such continual resistance: "In the course of the half-century between the anonymous night-time barricades of November 1827 and the seventy sunny days of the Commune, the list of Paris demonstrations, riots, coups, uprisings and insurrections is so long that no other capital can claim anything similar.

The film is mean-spirited at times and the women are all over Hammer all the time, but the female dialogue -- especially that by Gaby Rodgers as Lilly, Christina's roommate, does not ring true. As affected as that manner of speech is, so too are some
Years later, I read Samuel Butler's The Way of All Flesh, with its extraordinary image of the futility of prayer: a bee, inside a room, mistaking the floral wallpaper for the real thing and briefly attempting to extract its illusory pollen.
What's more, the Poltergust can also be used to help Luigi pull wallpaper and drapes away from the wall to reveal hidden areas, coins and bills, and other goodies like a chest that might contain something you need -- such as a key to unlock the door to
