Book Description
Excerpt from Some Memories of Paris At the commencement of the Second Empire Paris was still a city of many mean streets and a few grand ones; still a city of rare pavements, rough stones, stagnant gutters, and scarcely any drainage; still a city of uncomfortable homes, of varied smells, of relatively simple life, and of close intermixture of classes. This last element. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
“A rich and entertaining history of the French capital’s predominant myths and ‘image-making’ from the nineteenth century to the present.” —Roxanne Panchasi, H-France Review How did Paris become the world favorite it is today? Charles Rearick argues that we can best understand Paris as several cities in one, each with its own history and its own imaginary shaped by dream and memory. Paris has long been at once a cosmopolitan City of Light and of modernity, a patchwork of time-resistant villages, a treasured heirloom, a hell for the disinherited, and a legendary pleasure dome. Focusing on the last century and a half, Paris Dreams, Paris Memories makes contemporary Paris understandable. It tells of renewal projects radically transforming neighborhoods and of counter-measures taken to perpetuate the city’s historic character and soul. It provides a historically grounded look at the troubled suburbs. Further, it tests long-standing characterizations of Paris’s uniqueness through comparisons with such rivals as London and Berlin. Paris Dreams, Paris Memories shows that in myriad forms—buildings, monuments, festivities, and artistic portrayals—contemporary Paris gives new life to visions of the city long etched in Parisian imaginations. “A pleasure to read.” —Catherine Clark, H-Urban “Fascinating.” —Nicoleta Bazgan, Contemporary French Civilization “Rearick is an expert guide.” —Jeffrey H. Jackson, Rhodes College “Like a pleasant stroll through the city, one finds much that one has already seen, but also plenty that one has not.” —Stephen Sawyer, French History “Rearick has written not so much a history of Paris, but a history of the history of Paris.” —William Irvine, York University

Book Description
An exquisite WWII novel illuminating the strength of three women in occupied Paris, for fans of The Nightingale, The Alice Network and The Lost Girls of Paris. "A truly outstanding novel...reminds us of the power of love, hope and courage."—Heather Morris, #1 bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz Paris, 1944 Celebrated singer Genevieve Dumont is both a star and a smokescreen. An unwilling darling of the Nazis, the chanteuse’s position of privilege allows her to go undetected as an ally to the resistance. When her estranged mother, Lillian de Rocheford, is captured by Nazis, Genevieve knows it won’t be long before the Gestapo succeeds in torturing information out of Lillian that will derail the upcoming allied invasion. The resistance movement is tasked with silencing her by any means necessary—including assassination. But Genevieve refuses to let her mother become yet one more victim of the war. Reuniting with her long-lost sister, she must find a way to navigate the perilous cross-currents of Occupied France undetected—and in time to save Lillian’s life. In this heart-wrenching novel, bestselling author Karen Robards showcases the extraordinary lengths one goes to save their family from a German prison. A web of spies, the resistance and a vivid portrayal of Paris in wartime.

Book Description
«Memories» - is a remembrance of a time and of a place. Here, in this book, this time and place is Paris, 2013-2016. Our irst trip to Paris was rather random. Once, discussing a place to go for a New Year’s Eve, someone jokingly suggested France, Paris to be precise. This came out from a famous phrase of Ilya Ehrenburg: ‘To see Paris and to die’. And then we thought to ourselves: ‘why not, indeed!’ Thus it happened – our irst trip to Paris in 2013. A year later being in Paris for the New Year’s Eve became a tradition. Over these years dozens of places were seen by my camera, many a photos were taken. Naturally, I ended up with, putting it mildly, a vast number of images. Some of them depict rather well-known, touristy places; more often they show life of the city– its everyday, ordinary life. I mean, clearly Paris is not just a city, given its signiicance in European history and for tourism. Nonetheless, in many respects it is a city just like many others. One can ind there things like usual urban landscapes, people hurrying to work or strolling in parks on the way from home to cinema, children eating sweets, parents waiting for a bus. In other words, photos in this book relect the fabric of everyday life in a city that happens to be full of history and tourists. This city is my main model. In the end of the day, every late December I am not going to Paris to see people (I do not have anybody there – no relatives, no friends, no acquaintances). I am going to Paris to see Paris. This book is my invitation to come along with me and see Paris as a place with everything that a modern city has: houses, parks, squares, historical places, bus stations, business and shopping centres, restaurants, bridges, construction works, city’s multi-ethnical hosts and multi-national guests, and much more.
