In \u003ci\u003eThe Other Paris\u003c\/i\u003e, Lucy Sante gives us a panoramic view of that second metropolis, which has nearly vanished but whose traces are in the bricks and stones of the contemporary city, in the culture of France itself, and, by extension, throughout the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on testimony from a great range of witnesses, Sante, whose thorough research is matched only by the vividness of her narration, takes the reader on a whirlwind tour. Richly illustrated with more than three hundred images, \u003ci\u003eThe Other Paris \u003c\/i\u003escuttles through the knotted pre-Haussmann streets, through the improvised accommodations of the original bohemians, through the whorehouses and dance halls and hobo shelters of the old city. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A lively survey of labor conditions, prostitution, drinking, crime, and popular entertainment, and of the reporters, \u003ci\u003eréaliste \u003c\/i\u003esingers, pamphleteers, and poets who chronicled their evolution, \u003ci\u003eThe Other Paris \u003c\/i\u003eis a book meant to upend the story of the French capital, to reclaim the city from the bons vivants and the speculators, and to hold a light to the work and lives of those expunged from its center by the forces of profit.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLucy Sante\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Verviers, Belgium.
