The city of the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, of soft cheese and fresh baguettes. Or so tourist brochures would have you believe. In The Other Paris, Luc Sante reveals the city's hidden past, its seamy underside--one populated by working and criminal classes that, though virtually extinct today, have shaped Paris over the past two centuries. Drawing on testimony from a great range of witnesses--from Balzac and Hugo to assorted boulevardiers, rabble-rousers, and tramps--Sante, whose thorough research is matched only by the vividness of his narration, takes the reader on a whirlwind tour. Richly illustrated with more than three hundred images, The Other Paris scuttles through the knotted streets of pre-Haussmann Paris; through the improvised accommodations of the original bohemians; through the massive garbage dump at Montfaucon, active until 1849, in which, 'at any given time the carcasses of 12,000 horses were left to rot.' A wildly lively survey of labor conditions, prostitution, drinking, crime, and popular entertainment, of the reporters, realiste singers, pamphleteers, and poets who chronicled their evolution, The Other Paris is a book meant to upend the story of the French capital, to reclaim the city from the bon vivants and the speculators, and to hold a light to the works and days of the forgotten poor"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Capital -- Ghosts -- Pantruche -- Zone -- La Canaille -- Archipelago -- Le Business -- Saint Monday -- Show People -- Mort aux Vaches -- The Insurgents -- The Game. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x Social life and customs $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 650 0 $a City and town life $z Paris $z Paris $x History. 650 0 $a Poor $z Paris $z Paris $x History. 650 0 $a Working class $z Paris $z Paris $x History. 650 0 $a Criminals $z Paris $z Paris $x History. 650 0 $a Eccentrics and eccentricities $z Paris $z Paris $x History. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x Social conditions. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x Description and travel. 648 7 $a 1800 - 1999 $2 fast 941 $a 8 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017014751.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518020511.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20211202010542.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006092042.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171205015709.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20160123010627.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20151203012033.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20151202011446.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7DD8236C98C211E5B5097593DAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b IODInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
