Описание
«The name of every Parisian metro station tells a story. In «Metrostop Paris» Gregor Dallas recounts a series of extraordinary but true tales about the city as he leads his readers around the metro. Both the armchair traveller and the visitor will enjoy an illuminating journey in the company of a compelling storyteller and veteran of the city. The book includes visits to Paris catacombs at Hells Gate, the literary cafs and old jazz cellars of Montparnasse and Saint-Germain-des-Prs and the seventeenth-century alleys of the Marais, along with trips to the Palais-Royal at the time of the Revolution and the world of opera during Claude Debussy's lifetime. Through the eyes of the existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, Dallas describes the German occupation of Paris during the Second World War and the intellectual wars that immediately followed. A visit to the futuristic Cit de la Science at La Villette prompts the story of the Marquis de Mors, the French cowboy and anti-Semite, who was eventually murdered by tribesmen of the Sahara Desert in 1896. Outside, the Jesuit church of Saint-Paul Dallas tells us about Gabriel de Montgomery forgotten ancestor of Montgomery of Alamein who accidentally killed his king just there and, after leading the Protestant armies against Catherine de Medicis, was executed on the Place de Grve. This exciting journey through time and space concludes at the Cemetery Pre Lachaise with the unknown tale of Oscar Wildes strange involvement in the Dreyfus Affair, the greatest legal scandal of all time.»
