06.09: A Passion for Paris: Romanticism and Romance in the City of Light
2015-05-18 22:04:43| Powells Books Events Calendar
A unique combination of memoir, history, and travelogue, A Passion for Paris (St. Martin's) is David Downie's irreverent quest to uncover why Paris is the world's most romantic city — and has been for over 150 years. Abounding in secluded, atmospheric parks, artists' studios, cafés, restaurants, and streets little changed since the 1800s, Paris exudes romance. Rarely do visitors suspect the glamour and carefree atmosphere of the City of Light grew from and still feed off the dark fountainheads of riot, rebellion, mayhem, and melancholy — and the subversive literature, art, and music of the Romantic Age. This event is sponsored by Alliance Française de Portland.
