Sobre este item
U.S.A.: Free Press, 1995. 455pgs map endpapers. . illustrations. blue boards, white spine. remainder mark on bottom edge, otherwise fine, unmarked coy.Unclipped pictorial jacket has light creasing to extremities, otherwise near fine. The Paris we know today, with its grand boulevards, its bridges and parks, its monumental beauty, was essentially built in only seventeen years, in the middle of the nineteenth century. In this brief period, whole neighborhoods of medieval and revolutionary Paris -- over-crowded, dangerous, and filthy -- were razed, and from the rubble a modern city of light and air emerged. This triumphant rebuilding was chiefly the work of one man, Baron Georges Haussmann, Napoleon III's Prefect of the Seine. David Jordan reminds us that Haussmann was not immune to the charms of the old city. By leaving some areas intact, the Baron achieved the grand effect of implanting a modern city boldly within an ancient one. . First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Octavo.
