Eric Hazan's elegant, characteristically learned account of his journey through contemporary Paris, written in a tone both intimate and authoritative, is at once a companionably unhurried evocation of the city's rich, radical past and-at a time when capital is dramatically reorganizing its topography-a bracingly urgent intervention in debates about the city's future. As André Breton might have observed, there really are no lost steps here.
-Matthew Beaumont, author of Nightwalking
Praise for The Invention of Paris:
This is a wondrous book, either to be read at home with a decent map, or carried about sur place through areas no tourists bother with.
-Adam Thorpe, Guardian
Hazan is all business. He trudges through Paris street by street, quoting what Balzac, Hugo, Baudelaire or Kafka said about a particular spot, pointing out where barricades were once erected and thieves gathered for drinks.
-Donald Morrison, Financial Times
Hazan's brick-by-brick account of the city's history of strife and political posturing is riveting.
-Publishers Weekly
Hazan wants to rescue individual moments from general forgetting and key sites from the bland homogenization of international city development; he is also a passionate left-wing historian seeking to rescue the truth of Paris's revolutionary past.
-Julian Barnes, London Review of Books
