Items related to Paris Requiem
Paris, 1899. The city is electric with excitement. Preparations for the universal exhibition and the dawn of a new century have hit fever pitch. But the sensual spectacle of the belle epoque is overshadowed by racial and social tensions, as the Dreyfus affair unleashes a riotous surge of anti-Semitism into its midst enters James Norton, an American charged with bringing home his brother Raf and their high-spirited sister Ellie. When the body of the beautiful Jewish woman Raf loves turns up in the Seine, and her sister is discovered I the sprawling Salp‚triŠre asylum, the siblings are drawn into a dark web of violence, madness and death. As James reluctantly tackles his mission, it emerges that he and Paris share a history - one that is not altogether unlinked to the turbulent present that now confronts him. "Appignanesi's knowledge of the politics and culture of the era shines."--Publishers Weekly.
