Description: Parisians by Graham Robb The Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller from the award-winning author of The Discovery of France. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller from the award-winning author of The Discovery of France No-one knows a city like the people who live there - so who better to relate the history of Paris than its inhabitants through the ages? Taking us from 1750 to the new millennium, Graham Robbs Parisians is at once a book to read from cover to cover, to lose yourself in, to dip in and out of at leisure, and a book to return to again and again - rather like the city itself, in fact. Notes Taking us from 1750 to the new millennium, the award-winning author of The Discovery Of France lets the inhabitants of Paris tell their stories, in a book to lose yourself in just like the city itself. An extraordinary journey of discovery that will delight even the most indolent armchair traveller Daily Telegraph Author Biography Graham Robb was born in Manchester in 1958 and is a former fellow of Exeter College, Oxford. He has published widely on French literature and history, and his most recent book, The Discovery of France (2007), won both the Duff Cooper and Royal Society of Literature Ondaatje Prizes.
