About this product

Product Information

From the grand master of the historical vel comes a dazzling, epic portrait of the City of Light Internationally bestselling author Edward Rutherfurd has enchanted millions of readers with his sweeping, multigenerational dramas that illuminate the great achievements and travails throughout history. In this breathtaking saga of love, war, art, and intrigue, Rutherfurd has set his sights on the most magnificent city in the world: Paris. Moving back and forth in time across centuries, the story unfolds through intimate and vivid tales of self-discovery, divided loyalties, passion, and long-kept secrets of characters both fictional and real, all set against the backdrop of the glorious city--from the building of Notre Dame to the dangerous machinations of Cardinal Richlieu; from the glittering court of Versailles to the violence of the French Revolution and the Paris Commune; from the hedonism of the Belle Epoque, the heyday of the impressionists, to the tragedy of the First World War; from the 1920s when the writers of the Lost Generation could be found drinking at Les Deux Magots to the Nazi occupation, the heroic efforts of the French Resistance, and the 1968 student revolt. With his unrivaled blend of impeccable research and narrative verve, Rutherfurd weaves an extraordinary narrative tapestry that captures all the glory of Paris. More richly detailed, more thrilling, and more romantic then anything Rutherfurd has written before, Paris: The Novel wonderfully illuminates hundreds of years in the City of Light and Love and brings the sights, scents, and tastes of Paris to sumptuous life.

Enjoy learning history of "Europe's capital" in a personal story form!
Having been to Paris numerous times, I found this book exciting as it puts construction of landmarks as a major point of interest. I love facts and figures and Rutherfurd blends them with characters that bring history and life together in a pleasant manner. At first I found it a little hard to understand why he did NOT present his story in chronological order, but as the book goes along, it all comes together... family lines surface and the connections take place. I read it chronologically until I understood the family lines were going to blend into a real story plot if I stuck with the way Rutherfurd intended. Chapter headings are simply numerical to dates in time, so you can read it either way. He emphasizes art, religion, war, and everyday life of the people living under the aristocratic chain. Without the reader really realizing it, he tells you about the most minute details of life in every age, such as the furniture, the peoples attire, the modes of transportation, the gardens, etc. I hadn't realized Parisians were always so intent on beauty and culture in the cities every space possible. I knew I enjoyed it for these qualities now, but it somehow seemed people of old would have been less interested in these qualities than what Rutherfurd presents them to have been. I thought of these qualities as having been more for the wealthy only. He presents Paris as having always been enriched by people of all socio-economical levels as people interested in the finer things of life. He presents Paris as having always been fascinating. A place where everyone has ALWAYS wanted to return to! So it is, and may it always be so. Enjoy the read, and may you go there in person as well as by this great book.Read full review
