Description

City of Light and La Ville-Lumière refer to Paris being one of the first European cities to adopt widespread street lighting during the Great Exhibition of 1889. Early gas lamps with their soft, romantic glow became bright, electrified updates. These varied and often beautifully crafted historic structures bear long and silent witness to Parisian life by day and night. And at last, they speak!

This anthology of short stories and poems tell of love, suffering, art, crime, war, death and the supernatural over 150 years of humanity (and cats!) in the world's most evocative city, from the streetlamp's perspective. A first, we think!

All profits from sales of this book will go to help the work of Médecins Sans Frontières.
