English Summary/英文概要： From the grand master of the historical novel comes a dazzling epic portrait of Paris that leaps through centuries as it weaves the tales of families whose fates are forever entwined with the City of Lights
As he did so brilliantly in London: The Novel and New York: The Novel, Edward Rutherfurd brings to life the most magical city in the world: Paris.
This breathtaking multigenerational saga takes readers on a journey through thousands of years of glorious Parisian history—from its founding under the Romans to the timeless love story of Abelard and Heloise against the backdrop of the building of Notre Dame; to the martyrdom of Joan of Arc during the Hundred Years War; to the dangerous manipulations of Cardinal Richelieu and the bloody religious conflicts between Catholics and Protestants; to the gilded glories of Versailles; to the horrors of the French Revolution and the conquests of Napoleon; to the beauty and optimism of the belle epoque when Impressionism swept the world; to the hotbed of cultural activity of the 1920s and ’30s that included Picasso, Salvador Dali, Ernest Hemingway, and the writers of the Lost Generation; to the Nazi occupation and the incredible efforts of the French Resistance.
Even more richly detailed, thrilling, and romantic then anything Rutherfurd has written before, Paris: The Novel illuminates thousands of years in the City of Lights through intimate and vivid tales of characters both fictional and true, and with them, the sights, scents, and tastes of Paris come to sumptuous life.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 巴黎是四部家族史詩小說中的一部： 書中描述了從De Cygne貴族血脈到Le Sourds所尋求的顛覆性革命歷程; 從體面的資產階級貴族布蘭查德一直試圖保護着自己與本分辛勤的（法國）加斯科涅人Gascons的流言，還有他們內心膨脹的野心。
穿梭在幾個世紀之間，通過自我發現，各自的忠誠，激情和虛構的和真實的人物秘密，作者為讀者打開一幅生動的歷史畫卷。所有的故事都以這座輝煌的城市作為主線背景 — 從巴黎聖母院的建築到三個火槍手中的紅衣主教的陰謀詭計；從金碧輝煌的凡爾賽宮殿到充滿血腥的法國革命和巴黎公社；從一戰前安逸時期的快樂主義，全盛時期的印象派畫家，到悲慘的第一次世界大戰；從1920年代，作為當時迷失一代的作家在雙偶咖啡館的酒精中尋找自我，到二戰時期納粹的佔領，法國抵抗運動的英勇抗爭，和1968年的學生運動。
運用他無可挑剔的深入研究和神來之筆的描述，作者拉瑟塞福（Rutherfurd）編織着一幅精美的巴黎畫卷。這是一部更為細緻的描述作品，比拉瑟塞福（Rutherfurd）任何一部作品更具浪漫色彩的小說：巧妙地展現了這座有着百年歷史的，充滿着光和愛的城市，呈現出這座曼妙城市所散發出的視覺感和其獨有的氣息和味道，還有那高品質的奢華生活。(Sandy)

Educated locally, and at the universities of Cambridge, and Stanford, California, he worked in political research, bookselling and publishing. After numerous attempts to write books and plays, he finally abandoned his career in the book trade in 1983, and returned to his childhood home to write SARUM, a historical novel with a ten-thousand year story, set in the area around the ancient monument of Stonehenge, and Salisbury.
Four years later, when Sarum was published, it became an instant international bestseller, remaining 23 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List. Since then he has written five more bestsellers: RUSSKA, a novel of Russia; LONDON; THE FOREST, set in England’s New Forest which lies close by Sarum, and two novels which cover the story of Ireland from the time just before Saint Patrick to the twentieth century.
