Synopsis:
John Russell’s ’Paris’ is an elegant and erudite tour of the city-its character, its neighborhoods, its institutions-by a guide who knows its places & pleasures intimately. Beginning with the Louvre, and progressing slowly outward to the borders of the Ile de France, Russell ambles along the boulevards & streets of past and present Paris, stopping here at one noble town house to eavesdrop on Zola & Turgenev, there to hear the 8-yr-old Mozart at the piano astounding his hosts. He smoothly evokes 300 years of social climbing, lavish living, romantic intrigue, artistic ambition, and intellectual achievement. ’Paris’ honors excellence in all things, from painting to conversation, but it is equally about a living city.
