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, with a thousand facets, is 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.
