SEVEN AGES OF PARIS(ISBN=9781400034468) pdf 在线 2025 epub 免费 书籍 下载

　　In this luminous portrait of Paris, celebrated historian

Alistair Horne gives us the history, culture, disasters, and

triumphs of one of the world’s truly great cities. Horne makes

plain that while Paris may be many things, it is never

boring.

From the rise of Philippe Auguste through the reigns of Henry IV

and Louis XIV (who abandoned Paris for Versailles); Napoleon’s rise

and fall; Baron Haussmann’s rebuilding of Paris (at the cost of

much of the medieval city); the Belle Epoque and the Great War that

brought it to an end; the Nazi Occupation, the Liberation, and the

postwar period dominated by de Gaulle--Horne brings the city’s

highs and lows, savagery and sophistication, and heroes and

villains splendidly to life. With a keen eye for the telling

anecdote and pivotal moment, he portrays an array of vivid

incidents to show us how Paris endures through each age, is altered

but always emerges more brilliant and beautiful than ever. The

Seven Ages of Paris is a great historian’s tribute to a city he

loves and has spent a lifetime learning to know.

"Parisians are like children; one constantly has to fill their imagination, and if one cannot give them a victory in battle every month, or a new constitution every year, then one has to offer them daily some new building sites to visit, projects that serve to beautify the city." - Comte de Rambuteau
