Paris and Elsewhere

Perhaps no one loves France as much as the English--at least some of the English--and Richard Cobb, the incomparable Oxford historian of the French Revolution, was a passionate admirer of the country, a connoisseur of the low dive and the flophouse, as well as a longtime familiar of the quays of Paris and the docks of Le Havre and Marseille. Collecting memoirs, portraits of favorite haunts, appreciations of Simenon and Queneau, Rene Clair and Brassai, and including the famous polemic "The Assassination of Paris,"

A propos de l'auteur

Richard Cobb (1917-1996) fell in love with France when he first visited in 1935. He went on to write many works of history--some in French, some in English--about the French Revolution and occupied France.
