Beneath the veneer of elegance, however, fin de siaecle Paris was a city at war with itself. In City of Light, City of Shadows, Mike Rapport uncovers a Paris riven by social anxieties and plagued by overlapping epidemics of poverty, political extremism, and anti-Semitism. As the Sacrae-Cur and Eiffel Tower rose into the skies, redefining architecture and the Paris skyline, Paris's slums were plagued by disease and gang violence. The era, now remembered as a high point of French art and culture, was also an age of intense political violence, including anarchist bombings, organized right-wing mobs, and assassinations. Weaving together these stories of splendor and suffering with the fabric of the city itself, the book offers a brilliant account of Paris's Belle aEpoque-revealing the darkness that suffused the City of Light"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x History $y 1870-1940. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x Social life and customs $y 19th century. $9 73783 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. $9 73784 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x Social conditions $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $x Buildings, structures, etc. $9 87325 941 $a 3 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240702031832.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702025953.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20240409011743.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C3E549EAF63611EE80258AC022ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
