ediciones Pàmies NOCHES EN PARIS
Book SynopsisEn el momento en que vi al nuevo fotógrafo de Rallegra, la revista en la que trabajaba en Londres, supe el tipo de hombre que era: arrogante, impertinente y muy rico. Las chicas de la revista se lo empezaron a comer con la mirada en cuanto su culo de acero cruzó el umbral de las puertas de nuestras oficinas.Cuando me vi obligada a viajar con él a París para hacer un reportaje, no estaba interesada ni en su sonrisa seductora, ni en su sexy acento norteamericano ni en sus insinuantes palabras. De ninguna manera iba a dejarme seducir por sus encantos.Hasta que lo hice.En París.Hasta que empezó a besarme y yo me pregunté cómo habíamos llegado a eso. Hasta que arrastró sus labios por mi piel y yo solo podía desear más. Hasta que consiguió desnudarme en todos los sentidos.Es curioso, hay locuras que solo puedes cometer en París?Pero París no puede durar para siempre?

París notas de un vaudés
Book SynopsisEl joven Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz llega por vez primera a París en 1901 con el fin de preparar una tesis de doctorado. Se baja del tren en la estación de Lyon y apenas ha soltado la maleta en la habitación del sórdido hotel de la calle del Odeón, que se echa a la calle, cediendo al hechizo de la capital. Además de las descripciones, aún de actualidad, de los espacios emblemáticos y sitios monumentales, Ramuz expone su visión poco romántica de los suburbios obreros y de las poblaciones aledañas, como Ménilmontant, que irían anexándose a la capital. Rememora la historia de los orígenes de París y retrata a sus personajes más populares: la portera, el artista bohemio, los libreros de la orilla del Sena o los vagabundos. París no solo es el ?París del capitalismo (?) internacional que afluye a París como si fuera el único lugar del universo donde se pudiera sacar plenamente provecho de las ventajas que tiene la riqueza?, sino también la metrópoli de inagotables curiosidades.

Amazon Publishing Goodnight from Paris: A Novel
Book SynopsisIn Nazi-occupied France, an American film star takes on the most dangerous role of her life in a gripping novel about loyalty and resistance, inspired by a true story, from the Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Secret Stealers. Paris, 1939. Hollywood actress Drue Leyton, married to Frenchman Jacques Tartière, lives as an expatriate in love. But when her husband is dispatched to Brittany to work as a liaison for the British military, Drue finds herself alone with her housekeeper, adrift and heartsick in her adopted city. With her career and fame forty-five hundred miles away, Drue accepts an opportunity that will change her life forever. Befriended by seasoned wartime journalist Dorothy Thompson and urged on by political operative Jean Fraysse, Drue broadcasts radio programs to the United States. Her duty: shake America from its apathy and, as Nazis encroach and France is occupied, push for resistance and help from the US. As Drue and Jean fall under suspicion, Hitler sends his own message: when Drue’s adopted country is conquered, she will be executed. In a Paris that is no longer safe, Drue’s political passion is ignited. She’s prepared to risk anything to fight the enemy no matter how dangerous it gets—for her, for everyone she loves, and for everything she’s fighting for.Trade Review“An inspirational story for those who chose to fight evil rather than flee. Highly recommended.” —Historical Novels Review “In Goodnight from Paris, Jane Healey reels readers in to the inspiring tale of real-life Hollywood actress Drue Leyton Tartière, when she leaves acting for a Frenchman and becomes part of the Resistance in Nazi-occupied France. Drue’s courageous actions—engaging in dangerous work, broadcasting radio programs designed to prompt America to action and then assisting in the escape of over a hundred Allied pilots—are riveting, and through the pages of this novel, will finally be better known.” —Marie Benedict, New York Times bestselling author of The Other Einstein, The Only Woman in the Room, and Her Hidden Genius “In Goodnight from Paris, Jane Healey illuminates the fascinating story of Drue Leyton, the Hollywood starlet turned Resistance heroine. Combining romance, adventure, friendship, betrayal, and redemption, Healey weaves a heady, larger-than-life tale against the vivid backdrop of France during the Second World War.” —Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of Code Name Sapphire “Jane Healey excels at showing ordinary women rising to the occasion in extraordinary circumstances. You’ll be cheering for forgotten real-life heroine, American movie star Drue Leyton Tartière, as she turns down the chance to leave embattled France for Hollywood and instead defies the Nazi occupiers, risking her life again and again in the cause of freedom. A riveting story of true heroism.” —Lauren Willig, New York Times bestselling author of Two Wars and a Wedding “Goodnight from Paris is a portrait of courage, not of the men who lifted guns to rid their nations of tyranny but of the women who fought via the airwaves to get the support of the United States for the cause. This deft rendering of Drue Leyton’s valiant efforts to report the atrocities of war to the American public deserves a place on the shelf of any lover of World War II fiction. Not to be missed.” —Aimie K. Runyan, author of The School for German Brides

Oxford University Press NotreDame de Paris
Book SynopsisThree extraordinary characters caught in a web of fatal obsession are at the centre of Hugo's novel. The grotesque hunchback Quasimodo, bell-ringer of Notre-Dame, owes his life to the austere archdeacon, Claude Frollo, who in turn is bound by a hopeless passion to the gypsy dancer Esmeralda. She, meanwhile, is bewitched by a handsome, empty-headed officer, but by an unthinking act of kindness wins Quasimodo's selfless devotion. Behind the central figures moves apageant of picturesque characters, ranging from the cruel, superstitious king, Louis XI, to the underworld of beggars and petty criminals. These disreputable truands' night-time assault on the cathedral is one of the most spectacular set-pieces of Romantic literature. Hugo vividly depicts medieval Paris, where all life is dominated by the massive cathedral. His passionate enthusiasm for Gothic architecture is set within the context of an epic view of mankind's history, to which he attaches even more importance than to the novelTrade ReviewAlban Krailsheimer's fluent new translation more than does justice to a great romantic classic. * Max Davidson, Weekend Telegraph *

Baxter's anecdotes and observations are consistently enlightening." -- Washington Post "Lively and characterful. ...

All this is done with Baxter's inimitable lightness of touch and conversational style, which often belies the profound knowledge he has of his adoptive city." -- Anton Gill, author of A Dance Between the Flames: Berlin Between the Wars and An Honourable Defeat: A History of German Resistance to Hitler, 1933-1945 "An enjoyable, swift read ... as fun as a work of historical fiction." -- Kirkus Reviews "Captivating...

Harvard University Press Paris from the Ground Up
Book SynopsisThere is a Paris for the medievalist, and another for the modernista Paris for expatriates, philosophers, artists, romantics, and revolutionaries. McGregor brings these perspectives into focus throughout this concise, unique history. Color maps and identifying illustrations make the city accessible to visitors by foot, Metro, or riverboat.Trade Review[A] definitive portrait of Paris. Combining chronological history with a cultural exploration of all things architectural, artistic and practical, this volume is a popular record that could serve as a comprehensive textbook for City of Lights 101. Crafted with fluency and fluidity, McGregor can be overwhelming in his level of detail; great churches, museums and the artists responsible for them, from Gaul to DeGaulle, are all examined in extreme close-up. To his credit, McGregor acknowledges that the "human history of the place that became Paris is exceedingly long," and keeps it lively with public bath tours, the secrets of aqueducts and central heating, tales of martyrs from St. Denis to Joan of Arc, and unending cathedral construction (emphasizing Notre Dame); the Sorbonne, marketplace evolution and the great plague all play their part. The Louvre is explored meticulously in many permutations, as are the sewers and even the language. McGregor makes a convincing case that Paris, like Athens and Rome, is a city "that combined political power and cultural preeminence...the only conceivable place to succeed." * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *This new installment in McGregor's "From the Ground Up" series again offers the literary traveler an option to the brief historical sketches found in most travel books. Readers can use this as a well-researched but accessible history of Paris, tracing the story of the City of Light from its earliest residents, the Gauls and the Parisii, to the present day. Travelers will use chapters on churches, cathedrals, museums, and neighborhoods; those interested in the history of a particular area or landmark will find the index excellent. The many illustrations enhance the text, and the ten historical and contemporary maps help pinpoint attractions both ancient and modern. This series offers a unique blend of history and travel, and McGregor does an excellent job in both subject areas. Casual readers and students should consider this for its concise and readable presentation of the subject matter; travelers looking for more specialized guidebooks than the usual will definitely want to check this out. -- Rita Simmons * Library Journal *McGregor is adept at conveying the majesty of monumental Paris and charting the transformational sweep of time over the landscape...Paris from the Ground Up is not an analysis of city living, it's an analysis of a living city, nurtured on the waters of the Seine and perpetually in bloom, spreading the seeds of thought and culture out from its vibrant heart. -- Michael Patrick Brady * popmatters.com *James H. S. McGregor's excellent From the Ground Up series treats the city as a palimpsest, substituting space for time and allowing the reader to explore the history of a place while wandering its streets. Here he traces the story of Paris, describing the remnants of a long history that are, for the most part, buried deep beneath the city streets. * London Review of Books *In James H. S. McGregor's Paris from the Ground Up--which offers an informative history of the city's art and architecture--the Eiffel Tower necessarily [occupies] only four pages...But those four pages are invaluable...This insight is typical of McGregor, who has written three other books in the From the Ground Up series and who is at his best when elaborating on the technical aspects of Paris's buildings. -- Caroline Weber * New York Times Book Review *For writers, historians, artists, and anyone who appreciates a beautiful, vibrant city, Paris remains a mecca. McGregor has written three earlier "ground-up" books, on Rome, Venice, and Washington, D.C. Here he masterfully combines the genres of travel guide, urban history, and art history to provide a stimulating portrait of another of the world's great cultural attractions. McGregor traces the evolution of Paris from its pre-Roman origins as a Gallic settlement on the Seine, to its development as an outpost of Romano-Gallic culture, to its medieval flowering and maturing into the acknowledged cultural heart of continental Europe. To illustrate that evolution, he provides interesting vignettes on artistic and architectural landmarks, including Notre Dame, Sacré Coeur, and the Arc de Triomphe. Those who already know Paris will appreciate this informative tribute to the City of Light; for newcomers, this work will be educational. -- Jay Freeman * Booklist *An ode to the City of Light, this book traces the history of Paris through its art and architecture from its Roman era through contemporary times. -- Judith H. Dobrzynski * Real Clear Arts blog *In clean, sharp writing, [McGregor] uses the city's key landmarks--their conception, design, construction and function--to tell the story of Paris...The collection of full-color plates helps make this an enjoyable and informative publication. -- Elizabeth Meryment * Weekend Australian *Somewhere between armchair travel guide and a history text, Paris From the Ground Up presents a picture of Paris told from the point of view of its buildings, walls, and streets, resulting in a kind of architectural biography. -- Rick Dakan * PopMatters *Table of Contents* Introduction * Outpost of Empire * The Cathedral of Notre Dame * Gothic Ascendancy * Foundations of the Louvre * City of Light * The Limits of Royal Ambition * Revolution and Redesign * Paris on the Edge * Information * Further Reading * Acknowledgments * Illustration Credits * Index * Maps
