Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paris is one city that you should endeavor to know over the course of a lifetime, and not just in one or two visits. It is the center of the civilized universe, and it belongs to everyone—even to those who see it only in their dreams. The City of Light has bestowed on millions the gift of the incandescent present, an image or experience into which all life is condensed and reflected upon for years to come. Travelers’ Tales Paris captures the romance of the world’s favorite city through stories that entertain, inform, and touch the heart. John Gregory Dunne reveals the manic pleasures of driving in the city’s chaotic traffic. Joseph Diedrich and Katya Macklovich explore romantic encounters that could only happen here.

Download or read book Mimi Malloy At Last written by Julia MacDonnell and published by Picador. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Mimi Malloy: A daughter of the Great Depression, Mimi was born into an Irish-Catholic brood of seven, and she has done her best to raise six beautiful daughters of her own. Now they're grown, and Mimi, a divorcée, is unexpectedly retired. But she takes solace in the comforts of her new life: her apartment in the heart of Quincy, the occasional True Blue cigarette, and evenings with Frank Sinatra on the stereo and a highball in her hand. Yet her phone is arguably the busiest in greater Boston—it rings "Day In, Day Out," as Ol' Blue Eyes would say. Her surviving sisters love to gab about their girlhood, while her eldest daughter, Cassandra, calls every morning to preach the gospel of assisted living. And when an MRI reveals that Mimi's brain is filled with black spots—areas of atrophy, her doctor says—it looks like she's destined to spend her days in "one of those storage facilities for unwanted antiques." Mimi knows her mind is (more or less) as sharp as ever, and she won't go down without a fight. Yet as she prepares to take her stand, she stumbles upon an old pendant of her mother's and, slowly, her memory starts to return—specifically, recollections of a shocking and painful childhood, including her sister who was sent away to Ireland and the wicked stepmother she swore to forget. Out of the ashes of Mimi's deeply troubled history, Julia MacDonnell gives us a redemptive story of the family bonds that break us and remake us. Mimi Malloy, At Last! is an unforgettable novel, alive with humor, unexpected romance, and the magic of hard-earned insight: a poignant reminder that it's never too late to fall in love and that one can always come of age a second time.

Download or read book A Passion for Paris written by David Downie and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A top-notch walking tour of Paris. . . . The author's encyclopedic knowledge of the city and its artists grants him a mystical gift of access: doors left ajar and carriage gates left open foster his search for the city's magical story. Anyone who loves Paris will adore this joyful book. Readers visiting the city are advised to take it with them to discover countless new experiences." —Kirkus Reviews (starred) A unique combination of memoir, history, and travelogue, this is author David Downie's irreverent quest to uncover why Paris is the world's most romantic city—and has been for over 150 years. Abounding in secluded, atmospheric parks, artists' studios, cafes, restaurants and streets little changed since the 1800s, Paris exudes romance. The art and architecture, the cityscape, riverbanks, and the unparalleled quality of daily life are part of the equation. But the city's allure derives equally from hidden sources: querulous inhabitants, a bizarre culture of heroic negativity, and a rich historical past supplying enigmas, pleasures and challenges. Rarely do visitors suspect the glamor and chic and the carefree atmosphere of the City of Light grew from and still feed off the dark fountainheads of riot, rebellion, mayhem and melancholy—and the subversive literature, art and music of the Romantic Age. Weaving together his own with the lives and loves of Victor Hugo, Georges Sand, Charles Baudelaire, Balzac, Nadar and other great Romantics Downie delights in the city's secular romantic pilgrimage sites asking , Why Paris, not Venice or Rome—the tap root of "romance"—or Berlin, Vienna and London—where the earliest Romantics built castles-in-the-air and sang odes to nightingales? Read A Passion for Paris: Romanticism and Romance in the City of Light and find out.

She finds the friendly twenty-seven years old Cameroonian woman Ayossi, who’s staying in France illegally. As Mireille’s living alone in a big house she inherited, she offers Ayossi to live there with her and work as her maid. A little later – seemingly by accident – Mireille meets her new maid’s alleged brother, Johnny Walker. The twenty-nine years old Cameroonian has been in France for a few months now, also without papers. He comes to the house sometimes to visit his alleged sister at work. During these visits, Mireille and Johnny get closer and closer and, in the end, she falls in love with him due to systematic, very subtle and well-planned manipulation. They get married and start living together. Everything seems fine and idyllic – everyone seems happy. But when, two years later, Mireille happily announces to the alleged siblings that she’s pregnant, even though a doctor told her ten years ago that she couldn’t bear children, Ayossi loses control and attacks Johnny in rage: “Pregnancy wasn’t planned, you traitor! You’ve fooled me, and I won’t tolerate that!” Only then does Mireille get to know the truth. Her whole life is turned upside-down. But when Johnny explains everything, apologises to her and confesses that he’s actually fallen in love with her, wants to be with her and is happy about the pregnancy, the situation changes once again: Mireille wants to keep her husband now. But Ayossi wants the same thing: she can’t accept that she’s supposed to lose the man she loves and the opportunity to get French papers after everything she’s been through. Johnny, now with French papers, has to choose between commitment, promise, deal and love – or put on another act.
