Explanation Supposing Books Paris

From Edward Rutherfurd, the grand master of the historical novel, comes a dazzling epic about the magnificent city of Paris. Moving back and forth in time, the story unfolds through intimate and thrilling tales of self-discovery, divided loyalty, and long-kept secrets. As various characters come of age, seek their fortunes, and fall in and out of love, the novel follows nobles who claim descent from the hero of the celebrated poem The Song of Roland; a humble family that embodies the ideals of the French Revolution; a pair of brothers from the slums behind Montmartre, one of whom works on the Eiffel Tower as the other joins the underworld near the Moulin Rouge; and merchants who lose everything during the reign of Louis XV, rise again in the age of Napoleon, and help establish Paris as the great center of art and culture that it is today. With Rutherfurd’s unrivaled blend of impeccable research and narrative verve, this bold novel brings the sights, scents, and tastes of the City of Light to brilliant life.

The oddly beautiful metal structure known by the world as the Eiffel Tower appropriately bookends the oddly beautiful novel Paris by Edward Rutherford and also serves to be a metaphor for the city itself. The tower, like the city itself, was a dream that many did not think would ever get past the planning stages, and when it did, it faced so much scrutiny and criticism that it was considered a laughingstock. Pariss tumultuous history---a history of warring haves and have-nots, nobles and

Edward Rutherfurd is undoubtedly the reigning master of the multi-period epic novel. Paris: The Novel showcases his impeccable research and narrative talent. This sweeping novel covers 700 years of one of the most famous global cities. Paris's well-deserved fascination is magnificently illuminated. Triumphant as the city's architecture and culture, the book is a propulsive march through the geography, society and history of Paris.We follow a few families from 1261 and the building of Notre Dame

I have read two of his other books, "The Princes of Ireland" and "The Rebels of Ireland" loved both of them and I am enjoying "Paris" even more. I plan to read his other books as well.They are rich historical novels. Wish that we could have learned our history in school from people like Rutherford.

A great read if you are curious about the history of Paris. Rutherfurd, as usual, narrates through the generations of only a few families (often interrelated). The scope of the work (the history of the city from its beginning as a little roman settlement until WWII liberation) is vast and an ambitious task for the author who, to keep the book in one volume, necessarily has limited the story to well-known events and few characters. Although I wasnt too happy with the authors history lesson tone

I always know that a book has touched me when I continually think back on the characters. This is a story of a few families in Paris through centuries of time. It was more than 800 pages, but I didnt get bored at all. Also, I normally get overwhelmed with too many names, but that wasnt a problem here. The only thing that I didnt care too much for was all the jumping around through time. I would have preferred it had the book been written in more of a chronological order. I especially loved the

If this book was 300-400 pages long, I would have given it a 5-star rating. Unfortunately midway, it became a bit boring and confusing--though it did pick up a bit towards the end. Rutherford's command of historical narrative is appealing. The Eiffel Tower construction, the French Revolution, the era of Realism, the Inquisition, are all included within the dialogue between noble families and the bourgeoise, the Catholic-Protestant divide evident as the plot steams. It is a great historical read

I remember reading Rutherfurd's first historical epic, Sarum, and being swept away by the story of Salisbury, England and its families through the centuries. Since then, Rutherfurd has written several more of these historical novels, about Russia, Ireland, London and New York.Rutherfurd has developed a sort of formula for these novels. He takes a few families and follows their generations through the centuries. The families tend to be from varying levels of society, so that their stories can
