The Place de la Bastille – The Story of a Quartier
Autor Keith Readeren Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 apr 2011
From the bustling Marché d’Aligre market to the comparatively new Opéra Bastille, the Place de la Bastille is among the Paris’s most richly protean areas. Also known as the Faubourg Saint-Antoine, the Bastille quarter has long been a bastion of working-class solidarity and a regular site of political agitation—such as the infamous storming of the Bastille. Home to a popular and sometimes raffish nightlife scene in the early twentieth century, it now serves an ethnically and socially mixed community while bearing many traces of its vibrant past.
From the earliest days to the present, Keith Reader offers here a fascinating look at the rich historical and cultural geography of the Place de la Bastille. For readers keen to explore this remarkable area firsthand, the book also includes a map and walking tour.

Recenzii
“A wonderful piece of work. Using topography to bring history, anthropology, literature, and the arts into a single focus, the book is also a guide or mode d’emploi for all who have affection for Paris and, more broadly, Gallic culture.”
"What is provocative about this text is an underlying argument that Paris cannot yet be consigned as a living museum. It is this spark which catches fire soon into the book and makes it so entertaining and accessible."—Andrew Hussey, author of Paris: the Secret History
