Paris and Elsewhere: Selected Writings

Meer over het boek

The book offers a unique perspective on France through the eyes of Richard Cobb, an Oxford historian deeply enamored with the country. It explores his experiences in lesser-known locales, from low dives to flophouses, and highlights his connections to Paris and other French cities. Featuring memoirs and portraits of beloved places, as well as critiques of notable figures like Simenon and Queneau, it presents an authentic view of France that contrasts sharply with the typical tourist experience.
