Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Paris To my readers I would say peruse what I have written, but use your own eyes, your own keen observation for learning much more than could be noted here. Look into every courtyard in the ancient quarters, look atten tively at every dwelling along the old winding streets, and fail not to look up to their roofs. The roofs are never alike. They are strikingly picturesque. Old world builders did not work mechanically, did not raise streets in machine-like style, each structure exactly like its neighbour, one street barely distinguishable from the street running parallel or crossing it, according to the habit of toz-day. The builders of [as jours d'antan loved their craft; every single house gave scope for some artistic trait. The roofs offered a fine field for architec tural ingenuity: wonderfully planned windows, chim neys, balconies, gables are to be seen on the roofs often in most unexpected corners, in every part of the Vieux Paris. Look up - I cannot urge this too strongly. And within every old hotel - the French term for private house or mansion - examine each staircase. In the erection of a staircase the architect of past ages found grand scope for graceful lines, and exquisite workman ship. Thus walks even through the dimmest corners of la Ville Lumiere will be for lovers of old-time vestiges a joy for ever.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Houses of Glass: Stories of Paris Here, to this very smart restaurant, women of both worlds, the World and the Half World, came to stare at each other. The women of the Half World were brilliant things in the brilliant place white shoulders, gay tropical plumage, gestures, voices, laughter, jewels, and strange eyes. They belonged to it in a way that made one feel oddly homeless, as if there were nowhere else in the world to go than to such brilliant places of mirroring walls and lights and music and heat, of odours of wine and fruit and cigarette smoke and dying flowers. One got a nightmare sense of there being no home, none anywhere, for weariness, - no quiet, shaded resting-place, - only houses of glass. Houses of glass, houses of glass, - there are many stories beginning the King's daughter lived in a house of glass.

Download or read book Shadows of Old Paris Classic Reprint written by G. Duval and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shadows of Old Paris To most anglo-saxons and Americans, Paris of the Twentieth Century is almost as familiar as their native cities. Its crowded Boulevards, brilliant cafes, theatres, and shops are the play ground of hundreds of thousands of English-speaking tourists, whose yearly trip to the Gay City is a regular chapter in the programme of diversion. Though every man is not a Frenchman, each may become, to a certain extent, a Parisian; for the asphalt is hospitable to all nationalities alike, if they will but bring with them a capacity for enjoyment and the wherewithal to pay for it liberally. Yet, amongst the crowds of idlers and pleasure-seekers, of students even, who make the French capital temporarily their home, there are few lovers of tradition curious enough to turn from the dazzling modern city of pleasure, and plunge into the dingy Paris of the past, itself a town within a town, rapidly being swallowed up by the hydra-headed demon of improvement, with its insatiable appetite and power of destruction. Along the quays, some of the Older houses yet remain; in the streets adjoining, fislumbering amid gardens, lie the stately homes of the nobility, a few still occupied by the great families who have inhabited them for generations. But they are fast disappearing, and many have fallen from their high estate to serve as warehouses, or for commercial purposes, or, even, as tenements for the poorest classes of artisans and workmen.

Download or read book Jean Christophe in Paris written by Romain Rolland and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-24 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jean-Christophe in Paris: The Market-Place, Antoinette, the House Disorder in order. Untidy officials offhanded in manner. Travelers protesting against the rules and regulations, to which they submitted all the same. Christophe was in France. After having satisfied the curiosity of the customs, he took his seat again in the train for Paris. Night was over the fields that were soaked with the rain. The hard lights of the stations accentuated the sadness of the interminable plain buried in darkness. The trains, more and more numerous, that passed, rent the air with their shrieking whistles, which broke upon the torpor of the sleeping passengers. The train was nearing Paris. Christophe was ready to get out an hour before they ran in; he had jammed his hat down on his head; he had buttoned his coat up to his neck for fear of the robbers, with whom he had been told Paris was infested; twenty times he had got up and sat down; twenty times he had moved his bag from the rack to the seat, from the seat to the rack, to the exasperation of his fellow-passengers, against whom he knocked every time with his usual clumsiness. Just as they were about to run into the station the train suddenly stopped in the darkness. Christophe flattened his nose against the window and tried vainly to look out. He turned towards his fellow-travelers, hoping to find a friendly glance which would encourage him to ask where they were.
