Book Giveaway: Untold Paris: The Secret History of the City of Light by John Baxter

 

As always, I am proud and happy to give away a new book by John Baxter, Untold Paris: The Secret History of the City of Light.

John is the most prolific writer I know. He writes at least one book every years, plus publishes lengthy and entertaining posts on his Substack platform. 

Here’s the synopsis of Untold Paris: The Secret History of the City of Light: 

How was Ernest Hemingway received by the city he wrote so much about, and where did he rub shoulders with other literary greats? Are Parisian waiters really as rude as their reputation, and why do they race each other down the street in the annual Course des Garcons de Café? And where can you find fascinating remnants of the city’s history of violent revolution, jazz music, and bold artistic movements?

From the reality of the city’s café culture and its literary luminaries, to some of its more curious landmarks, obscure events, and unusual inhabitants, Untold Paris will give the first-time visitor a vivid impression of the city and offer seasoned travelers a new vision of the city they love.

The people, the quirks, peculiarities, charms, and eccentricities; the history and secrets. Welcome to the untold Paris.

John has been kind enough to offer a free copy of Untold Paris to Eye Prefer Paris readers.

Innamorati di Parigi prima ancora di visitarla...tanto che da 20 anni abbiamo uno "studiò" nel quartiere latino. Ci piace girarla scoprendo le zone fuori dai circuiti turistici ed a ogni viaggio scoprire qualcosa di nuovo anche muovendoci con RER e TGV...in modo particolare le zone storiche.
