ISBN10: 0701181028, ISBN13: 9780701181024, [publisher: Chatto & Windus] Hardcover This unique and intensely involving book evokes the texture and atmosphere of a hidden Paris which has survived against all the odds of time and chance. Gillian Tindall is well known for her ability to breathe a passionate life into the generations of those who have walked this earth before us. Here, using a handful of lives and a specific location to exemplify 200 years of history, she focuses on a few of the oldest streets in Paris' Latin Quarter. Her study shows how Paris has drawn into its magnetic field people who have variously found there education or enlightenment, a refuge or a secret garden, even a different identity. Half a dozen individuals, all related in some way, reveal a web of human feeling and experiences across two centuries. 2009. First edition, first printing. A fine, unmarked and unread copy in a near fine, unclipped d/w which is slightly crinkled due to a slightly too tight protective cover. Scans available if required.
