Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paris of the Parisians The purpose of these sketches is not political nor yet didactic. No charge is laid upon me to teach the French nation its duties, to reprove it for its follies. Nor yet is it my design to hold up Paris of the Parisians as an example of naughtiness, nor even of virtue, to English readers. A student of human life still in my humanities, my purpose is purely interpretative. I would endeavour to trans late into English some Paris scenes, in such a way as to give a true impression of the movement, personages, sounds, colours, and atmosphere per vaded With joy of living which belongs to them. These impressions Which I have myself received, and now desire to communicate, are not the result of a general survey of Paris taken from some lofty summit. I have not looked down upon the capital of F rance from the top of the Eiffel Tower; nor yet from the terrace of the Sacre Coeur; nor yet from the balcony among the chimeres of Notre.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1880, same year as Edgar Degas' The Dancing Lesson and Edouard Manet's solo show of brasserie paintings at La Vie Moderne gallery, J.-K. Huysmans' Parisian Sketches shares with these vibrant Impressionist works a fascination with the contemporary life of Paris, an exuberant Paris in the era of the Opera Garnier and the Folies-Bergeres. Like the striking images of the early Impressionists, whom Huysmans championed when it was unfashionable to do so, Parisian Sketches is an all-out assault on the visual senses. Composed of a series of intense, meticulously observed impressions - of cafe concerts and circus performers, of streetwalkers and hot-chestnut sellers, of run-down slums and forgotten quarters in the grimy, shiny 'City of Light'- Parisian Sketches recreates the Paris of the bal masque and the cancan, the brasseries à femme and the buveurs d'absinthe, all captured with an intimacy and an immediacy that confirms Huysmans as one of the masters of 19th century French prose.

The lines of communication between Paris and the rest of the world had been cut off, and the siege had commenced in very truth; yet it was still possible, by the exercise of due influence with plenipotentiary powers, to penetrate the circle du fer, which the Prussians had formed round the city Only the other day, a large party of Americans and English had succeeded in getting through safely to London. But Frank - Frank Baldwin, our dear old friend and crony in those days, - had no desire to leave the invested city so at least we learned for the first time, with any degree of certainty, that evening at the cafe.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Paris: French Character SketchesAdam made no apologies for being; neither does my book. Every man sees Paris differently; mine was the Paris of a stranger, - a young man; time, Exposition year; and my business was to indite letters to the Spn'ngfield Republican and Boston T ranscm'pt. The widg popularity given to the correspondence through the medium of those excellent journals was as unexpected as generous opportunities for the study of certain phases of Paris life were never better than in 1867, and the numerous demands for a resume, in substantial form, of a year's experience in the French capi tal, have prompted this volume of character sketches.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tricolored Sketches in Paris, During the Years 1851-2-3 A m preface to a book of running shots at manners living as they rise, would be as absurd as to charge a flock of quails with a brigade. I only propose, therefore, at this beginning, which is after all but an ending, to make a supplementary sketch, of my sketches. The title-page sufficiently indicates the general tanor of this book; a glance at the heading of the chapters will tell the rest - that it consists of articles written from Paris, for publication in a N ew-york daily journal. They were intended only for this transient and fugitive purpose, without any idea of reproduction in another form. But the leading events they record are not only in themselves remarkable, even amid the astonishing annals of modern France, but they have acquired importance from the fact, that, taken together, they constitute the birth, cradling, and consecration of an Empire.

Three of the letters were reprinted by James during his lifetime, the remainder were allowed to linger in the crumbling newspaper files in the hope that they would be forgotten. In recent years extracts from those letters that were devoted to the theater were included in Allan Wade's collection of J ames's dramatic criticism, The Scenic Art; and cer tain passages dealing with paintings were incorporated by John L. Sweeney in his compilation of Henry J ames's art criticisms, The Painter's Eye. The ma J or ity of the letters, however, remained uncollected, and available only to those who cared to read the files or the microfilm record.
