PARIS

by Marcel Brion ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

A fine monograph by Marcel Brion, who did a comparable one on Venice in 1962, indicates the constant allure and inconstant character of this city ""about which everything can be said, true and false at the same time."" By no means as heavily implemented with fact as Blake Ehrlich's Paris which will be the primary competition, this is more for the casual reader-viewer who will respond to the luminous view of the city, its buildings, monuments, churches, its gardens and parks, its quartiers and quais, etc. Illustrated with engravings, which are fine, and with two page color illustrations (some aerial shots) which are less sophisticated in calibre than the text.
