About the Item

Paris des Années 30, (Paris in The Thirties), French Book by Jacques Lanzmann, 1987. Numerous photographs in black and white from the Keystone press agency in Paris illustrating the text by Jacques Lanzmann Our postmodern eighties have doom and gloom, or melancholy for the thirties. The Thirties were years of illusion, during which Paris distinguished itself between the two wars and out of time. This book presents a thousand facets of the reflection of this scintillating chaos. From the roof of the world, Jacques Lanzmann descends from the Butte Montmartre to the Bastille Place in the footsteps of Nini Peau de Chien (Nini Dog-Skin), to Longchamp racecourse, in the wake of "Madame la Marquise" ... An almost modern Paris with its ads, its soup kitchens (now "restos du cœur"), its Fouquet's, its Eiffel Tower, its Auto Show, its eternal Luxembourg Garden, its National Day Balls (July 14), etc. This is a beautiful coffee table art book. About the Author: Jacques Lanzmann was born on May 4, 1927, in nearby Paris and died on June 21, 2006, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. He was a French writer, screenwriter, lyricist, and abstract painter. Features: Title: Paris des Années 30. Author: Jacques Lanzmann. Hardcover book with dust jacket. Language: French.

Under the cobblestones, surprises: forgotten dead-ends, a cloister converted into workshops, a real-fake medieval house, the slabs of the guillotine, a 17th-century metro, a mineral water fountain, a tiny house, a miraculous Vespasian, a chapel in spare parts, Russian isbas, hidden gardens, revolutionary inscriptions, a forgotten cannonball, a working-class town in the upscale neighborhoods, a fashionable ox, abandoned convents, a washhouse facade, a bastion on the fortifications, an itinerant chapel, a pierced castle, sleeping villas, a lemon tree in a telephone booth, that's Paris! The French capital has not finished revealing its mysteries: a Palladian villa, a 15th-century tower, an acclimatization square, rats nibbling on a facade, an old Protestant cemetery, a medieval sign...
