Frances Chambers, Compiler. Includes Indexes. "Paris, with its rich artistic and political history dating back to 53 BC, is known throughout the world for its culture, its beautiful architecture, its romance and its fine food. The very name of the city conjures up a multitude of images embracing, for example, Montmartre, the Latin Quarter, the River Seine, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower and the wonders of the Louvre and the Musee d'Orsay. Paris is, of course, also a working city and a vitally important political, financial and economic centre, with a population of over two million. As such, it faces all the problems of a modern metropolis, including crime, unemployment, racial tensions and traffic pollution. Despite this, it continues to present a vibrant, positive image to the world and attracts millions of visitors every year." "This bibliography provides English-speaking readers with a guide to the most important publications dealing with all aspects of the capital. Of particular interest are the sections dealing with literary and intellectual Paris and with the relationship of individuals -- from Apollinaire to Zola -- to the city. There are also important sections on tourist guides, architecture and planning, history and the arts. All those interested in this fascinating and enchanting capital city will find this volume invaluable. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET
