    As the Anglo-French historian and indefatigable walker Richard Cobb put it, “Paris should be both walkable and walked, if the limitless variety, the unexpectedness, the provincialism, the rusticity, the touching eccen-tricity are to be appreciated.” With The Streets of Paris as your guide, you’ll walk the quartiers of such original geniuses as Patrick Modiano, Édith Piaf, Colette, Jean Moulin, good king Henri IV—you’ll find all these names in the book’s Contents.

    It’s as though the blinkers have been removed and I’m seeing clearly for the first time in a long while. Real-life romance is not the sugar-coated version you see in films and books and musicals.

    Bir sahra bile olsa doğduğumuz yerleri mutlaka severiz. Fakat zevkimiz dünyanın güzellik hazinelerinde inceldikten sonra doğuş yerimizi en makbul güzellerle mukayese etmek ve sevgilinin üstünlüğünü görmek, bu, ne lezzettir! İnsan nerede ols aBoğaziçi'ni hasretle hatırlıyor. Onu Paris'in bin bir cazibesi içinde düşünüyordum. Uzak sevgilinin doyulmamış nazarları gibi ruh için, bir türlü modası geçmiyor!

    I have long been seduced by the idea of losing myself, persuaded by the thought that there was something poetic in this dissipation. I thought that the destiny of every true flâneur was to immerse himself in the panorama surrounding him, to the point of becoming one with it and, ultimately, to vanish.

  • Quote

    Tutta Parigi era ai suoi piedi, coi mille pennacoli dei suoi edifici e l'orizzonte circolare delle sue molli colline, col fiume serpeggiante sotto i suoi ponti e il popolo, formicolante per le sue strade, con la nube dei suoi vapori, la catdna montuosa dei suoi tetti che rinserra Notre Dame tra le sue gambe accavallate. Ma di tutta quella città l'arcidiacono non guardava chs un punto: la piazza del Sagrato; di tutta quella folla, una figura: la zingara.
