Synopsis "Paris Histories and Mysteries: How the City of Lights Changed the World (in English)"
Who needs another book about Paris? You do!Paris has been studied, written about, visited, loved, even adored for centuries, yet history still has questions: What would have happened if the contract to demolish the Eiffel Tower had been enforced and Eiffel's lease on the land revoked? Who was the "Unknown Girl of the Seine" and how is she still saving lives today? Was Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the Opera a Gothic thriller or an investigative journalist's account of the truth? And speaking of investigations, did Edgar Allan Poe-the man who invented the detective story-write the first one in Paris? How did an obscure third century saint and martyr inspire a worldwide network of educational institutions? How did death appear to people in the Middle Ages, and what happened in Paris to change our way of seeing death and dying? Does the alchemist Nicolas Flamel still live and walk the Earth?Come along and discover a mysterious Paris, one that is more than a tourist stop or a postcard photo-op, but a place where events large and small have altered the course of world history.Go behind the scenes to discover Paris Histories and Mysteries!
