A preeminent writer on Paris, John Baxter brilliantly brings to life one of the most dramatic & fascinating periods in the city`s history. During World War I, the terrifying sounds of the nearby front could be heard from inside the French capital; Germany`s ” Paris Gun” & enemy aviators routinely bombarded the city. And yet in its darkest hour, the City of Light blazed more brightly than ever. Its taxis shuttled troops to the front; its great railway stations received reinforcements from across the world; its grand museums & cathedrals housed the wounded; & the Eiffel Tower hummed at all hours, relaying messages to & from the trenches. At night, Parisians lived with urgency & without inhibition, embracing the lush & the libertine. The rich hosted parties that depleted their wine cellars of the finest vintages. Artists such as Pablo Picasso achieved new creative heights. & the war brought a wave of foreigners to the city for the first time, including Ernest Hemingway & Baxter`s own grandfather, Archie, whose diaries he uses to reconstruct a soldier`s-eye view of the war years. Uncovering a thrilling chapter in Paris`s history, John Baxter`s revelatory new book shows how this extraordinary period was essential in forging the spirit of the city we love today. ...
