Make a literary pilgrimage through Paris by following in the
footsteps of thirty writers who made the city their home. Starting
with Moliere in the seventeenth century and ending with James
Baldwin in the twentieth, Literary Paris profiles thirty
writers and describes more than one hundred sites associated
with them—from cafes, salons,
homes, and haunts, to locations in the city they so beautifully
described in their writing.
Writers profiled: Molière • Voltaire • The Marquis de Sade • Honore de Balzac • Alexandre Dumas • Victor Hugo • George Sand • Charles Baudelaire • Gustave Flaubert • Jules Verne • Mark Twain • Émile Zola • Arthur Rimbaud • Paul Verlaine • Oscar Wilde • Marcel Proust • Colette • Gertrude Stein • Guillaume Apollinaire • Henry Miller • Janet Flanner • F. Scott Fitzgerald • Ernest Hemingway • George Orwell • Georges Simenon • Simone de Beauvoir • Jean-Paul Sartre • Richard Wright • Albert Camus • James Baldwin

“... a refreshingly concise and user-friendly look at twenty-eight writers who define the city’s belletristic tradition. Part anthology and part sight-seeing guide, it combines literary excerpts, photographs and anecdotes... Readers are invited to channel Guillaume Apollinaire at the Café du Départ, pay homage to George Sand at the Musée de la Vie Romantique–and, in the process, rediscover Paris (which Victor Hugo dubbed ‘the city of cities’ in 1870) in all its erudite glory.” —Town & Country
