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.

Download or read book Alexandre Dumas as a French Symbol since 1870 written by Eric Martone and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nineteenth-century writer Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870), author of The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, has been a controversial part of the French patrimony, and faced various forms of racial prejudice in France because of his biracial ancestry and due to being a descendant of a slave. During the late nineteenth century, the rise of scientific racism and aggressive European imperialism resulted in worldviews supporting European superiority and equated “European” with being “white.” Such developments complicated perceptions of Dumas as part of the French patrimony. French intellectuals and politicians from the late nineteenth-century onward created their own imaginative visions of what Dumas had represented in order to employ them ideologically to support or counter prevailing mainstream views of French history and identity. This collection traces the evolution of Dumas’s legacy as a controversial symbol of France since 1870, as the nation has struggled to deal with colonialism and its aftermath, and increased diversity and globalization.

Book excerpt: Written in 1864 and based on Dumas's sprawing novel of the same name, this play is a tale of murder and ruthless ambition spread through many levels of French society. As a young girl, Leonie barely escapes being killed by her greedy uncle, though her young brother is not so fortunate. With the two children being so conveniently dead, the uncle inherits his deceased brother's vast fortune. Leonie is raised by a woman with criminal associations, being educated to be a singer under the stage name, Rose Noel. She comes to the attention of three artists--a painter, writer, and doctor--who befriend her. Meanwhile, Mr. Jackal, a police officer with Sherlockian powers of observation, tries to solve the cold case for which another--an innocent--man has been blamed--and in the process coins the classic phrase, "Cherchez la Femme!" A classic crime drama worthy of the Great Detective himself!
