PARIS: THE SECRET HISTORY

Book ID/图书代码： 11701206B06184

English Summary/英文概要： Paris arouses strong emotions. In its long and vast history, it has been variously represented as a prison, a paradise and a vision of hell. It has also been characterised as a beautiful woman, a sorceress and a demon. As Andrew Hussey shows in this remarkable book, literature is an accurate reflection of daily life: Paris really is made up of violently different spaces and multiple personalities, always at odds with each other and often in noisy collision. It has been like this for nearly two thousand years. Like Peter Ackroyd’s biography of London, Andrew Hussey’s book on Paris makes no claim to be a definitive history. Instead, it is an account of the city’s history from the point of those who experienced its citizenry. The city itself is like a palimpsest: the very stones and street names allude to its often violent and turbulent past. It is a city of secret adventures, of hidden meanings which, on journeys from royal palaces to bars, brothels and opium dens, this book uncovers. Covering two thousand years of Paris’ history, this is a sweeping, vivid portrait of an endlessly fascinating city.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 巴黎激起了强烈的感情,在她悠久的历史中,她被描述成各种各样的样子：监狱、天堂、地狱.她也被描述成一个美丽的女人，女巫和魔鬼．正如Andrew Hussey 在这本令人注目的书中所展示的，文学是日常生活的精确反映：巴黎确实是有完全不同的空间和多种性格组成的，总是相互争执并常常在拥挤中发生从突．巴黎已经有200年的时间象这样了，像Peter Ackroyd的伦敦自传一样，Andrew Hussey关于巴黎的书决不是巴黎的精确历史．相反，她是从在过这个城市有过经历的人的一种描述，这本书本身就是一本重写本,这个城市里的石头和街名从没展示了暴力和动荡的过去．这本书将揭示巴黎的秘密冒险历程，从皇家宫殿到街头酒吧、妓院、吸毒所．在这200年的巴黎历史中，这本书将这座有无穷魅力的城市的清晰呈现．
