A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024
A Waterstones Best History Book of 2024 Pick
Simon Kuper, bestselling author of the book "Chums," presents a story of exploration about the complex, glamorous, and often harsh city of Paris.
Having lived in Paris as a journalist and an ordinary citizen, Kuper has watched the city change as it has experienced significant events, such as the 2015 terrorist attacks that shook his neighborhood. Over two decades, he has become somewhat of a Parisian himself.
This century, Paris has globalized, ghettoized, and recognized its role as a center of cultural conflicts. With the advent of the pandemic, terrorist attacks, flood disasters, and the Notre Dame fire, Parisians have experienced a series of shocks. Now, with the Olympics approaching, France is preparing for the 'Grand Paris' project, a serious effort to connect the cherished city with its neglected suburbs.
A fascinating backdrop of today's reality of Paris, far from the clichéd approaches.
