From Voltaire to Verlaine and from Hugo to Hemingway, these are the Paris
locations that have influenced modern literature. The book is an elegant
photographic stroll around the bookshops, famous literary restaurants and
storied streets of Europe’s favourite tourist destination. Literary
Landscapes: Paris takes this major European city and with picture perfect
photography, compiles an album of memorable views linked to the words of
Parisian authors, or writers who made Paris their home. It looks at places
where books were written, discussed over dinner, and where ultimately the
books are sold. There are the theatres of Molière, Dumas and Beaumarchais
along with the incredible Palais Garnier opera house and the legend of Le
Fantome by Gaston Leroux. There are the revered bookshops of the Latin Quarter
including the idiosyncratic Shakespeare & Co. There are the classic grand
structures referenced in Victor Hugo novels (and still there) or the mean
streets of George Orwell’s Down and Out in Paris. There are the famous cafes
where authors gathered and wrote, or where artists and philosophers argued:
Les Deux Magots, Café de Flore, Le Procope, La Closerie des Lilas, Prunier, Le
Dôme, La Rotonde and Le Select. There are the bouquinistes ranged in their
green booths along the Seine, as once tended by Jean Genet. And there is the
classic expatriate Paris of Joyce, Stein, Wilde, Hemingway, F. Scott
Fitzgerald and the Beat poets. Literary Landscapes: Paris takes readers on an
exclusive cultural journey, introduced by one of the city’s most engaging
