Paris Historical Detective

(japan) Shiro Miyashita

96K0

The simple style of Paris streets contains the memory of the city, with unnatural steps or narrow paths dividing the landscape. This faint sense of uneasiness prompts us to turn over old maps and search for the Paris in historical travel guides and literary works, and to find the era when Maupassant, Rimbaud and Zola lived. The author presents the past of Paris in front of readers, humorously explaining the customs and world conditions of Paris in the 19th century. Under the guidance of medieval and Renaissance researchers, this book will tell the trivial and tiny ancient things in the form of a "detective travelogue", leading readers to experience the journey of Paris from the Middle Ages to the 19th century.
