Krátky popis
From the bestselling author of Chums comes an explorer's tale of a
naif getting to understand a complex, glittering, beautiful and
often cruel city. Simon Kuper has experienced Paris both as a human
being and as a journalist. He has grown middle-aged there, eaten
the croissants, taken his children to countless football matches on
freezing Saturday mornings in the city's notorious banlieues, and
in 2015 lived through two terrorist attacks on his family's
neighbourhood.Over two decades of becoming something of a
cantankerous Parisian himself, Kuper has watched the city change.
This century, Paris has globalised, gentrified, and been shocked
into realising its role as the crucible of civilisational conflict.
Sometimes it's a multicultural paradise, and sometimes it
isn't.This decade, Parisians have lived through a sequence of
shocks: terrorist attacks, record floods and heatwaves, the burning
of Notre Dame, the storming of the city by gilets jaunes, and the
pandemic. Now, as the Olympics come to town, France is busy
executing the 'Grand Paris' project: the most serious attempt yet
to knit together the bejewelled city with its neglected suburbs.
This is a captivating memoir of today's Paris without the clichés.
