Couverture de The Flaneur: A Stroll Through the Paradoxes of Paris par Edmund White

Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur A flaneur is a stroller, a loiterer, someone who ambles without apparent purpose but is secretly attuned to the history of the streets he walks - and is in covert search of adventure, aesthetic or erotic. Acclaimed writer Edmund White, who lived in Paris for sixteen years, wanders through the avenues and along the quays, into parts of the city virtually unknown to visitors and indeed to many locals, luring the reader into the fascinating and seductive backstreets of his personal Paris. Biographie de l'auteur Edmund White is the author of many books includingA BOY'S OWN STORY and most recently THE MARRIED MAN. He has been made an officer in the French Order of Arts and Letters and last year received a literary prize from the Festival of Deauville. Ten of his books have been translated into French, including his magisterial biography of Jean Genet.
