City of love. City of luxury. Ghost town. City of art.
The fascinating story of how the military settlement of the ancient Romans on the swampy banks of the Seine turned into the City of Light, the epicenter of Western civilization.
The heart-breaking story of several families in many generations, whose destinies were intertwined in Paris: aristocrats whose ancestors were knights of Charlemagne; rebels who fanned the flames of the French Revolution; shopkeepers who lost their fortunes during the reign of Louis XV and became rich again under Napoleon; commoners from Montmartre who built the Eiffel Tower and robbed the rich near the Moulin Rouge cabaret. A story about love, betrayal, family secrets, about the people who made Paris the center of world culture.
This is a novel for anyone who has been to Paris and fell in love with the city…
This is a book for those who still dream of visiting there...
