false<![CDATA[Metrostop Paris: History from the City's Heart]]>25473954<div><div><b>A history of Paris in twelve métro stops.</b></div><div><br><i>Métro Stop Paris</i> recounts the extraordinary and colorful history of the City of Light, by way of twelve Métro stops—a voyage across both space and time. At each stop a Parisian building, or street, or tomb or landmark sparks a story that holds particular significance for that area of the city. </div><div><br>Dallas takes us to the jazz cellars and literary cafés of Montparnasse and Saint-Germain-des-Prés; the catacombs at Hell’s Gate; and the Opéra during the days of Claude Debussy. A darker side of Paris emerges at the Trocadéro stop and a charitable side at the Gare du Nord, which highlights the work of Saint Vincent de Paul. Finally, our journey ends at Père-Lachaise cemetery with the little-known story of Oscar Wilde’s curious involvement in the Dreyfus affair, one of France’s greatest legal scandals. From Hell (the Denfert-Rochereau stop on the south side of the city) to Heaven (the Gare du Nord at the north end of Paris), <i>Métro Stop Paris</i> carries readers on a journey of the heart and mind.</div><div><br><i>Métro Stop Paris</i> is a thinker’s guide to Paris made up of “slices of life,” little vignettes drawn from Paris’s two thousand years of history. Taken separately, these are charming historic tales about a city known and loved by many, but read as a whole <i>Métro Stop Paris</i> goes straight to the heart of what is quintessentially Parisian.</div></div>2554931142008Metro Stop Paris: An Underground History of the City of Lighttotal:21|5:1|4:7|3:7|2:5|1:1|216563741falsefalseThu Jul 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009Mon Jun 08 18:07:46 -0700 2009Thu Jul 16 18:02:20 -0700 2009
