[Paris in the 1920s] Fitch, Noel Riley
Sylvia Beach and the Lost Generation. A History of Literary Paris in the Twenties & Thirties.
New York:: Norton 1983. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Fitch has created a literary chronicle of the most creative decades of the twentieth century as seen through the life and literary engagements of bookshop owner Sylvia Beach. In 1917 Sylvia Beach walked into a Paris bookshop where she met Adrienne Monnier the woman who would become her life companion. In 1919 Beach opened her own English-language bookshop and lending library Shakespeare and Company which would become the cynosure of an entire literary movement. Literary expatriates were drawn to her shop but her most celebrated literary efforts are those she made on behalf of her literary idol James Joyce undertaking the publication of Ulysses. Noel Riley Fitch uses Beach as the focal point for a fascinating portrait of an artistic community filled with anecdote after anecdote. From the intellectual salons at Natalie Barney's residence--of which "William Carlos Williams would recall only the lesbian women dancing together"--to the seemingly constant presence of Ezra Pound Fitch's account solidifies the importance of the time and place he so vividly re-creates.

[Paris in the 1920s] Wiser, William
The Great Good Place: American Expatriate Women in Paris.
<p>New York:: Norton 1991. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. For the five American expatriate women profiled in Wiser's superb sparkling group portrait Paris was a social laboratory in which to lose or remake oneself. Mary Cassatt's fertile relationship with Degas gave way to her sour last years of exile in France when she progressively lost her eyesight. Edith Wharton cool-headed observer of society's ironies flung herself into a dalliance with English journalist Morton Fullerton who at the time was engaged to his first cousin while Wharton neglected her own clinically depressed husband. Flapper Caresse Crosby shared the opium highs and sexual excesses of her poet husband Harry then managed their Black Sun Press after his suicide. Daredevil Zelda Fitzgerald envied famous novelist husband F. Scott who expropriated her mental breakdown as material for his fiction. Josephine Baker illiterate teenage chorus girl from St. Louis came closest to becoming a "changeling hybrid Parisienne." In marvelous vignettes Wiser The Crazy Years creates an iridescent prism refracting the City of Light's special alchemy and ambiance. From Publisher's Weekly.</p> Norton, hardcover

[Paris in the 1920s] Stearns, Harold E
The Street I Know.
<p>Paris in the 1920s Stearns Harold E. The Street I Know. New York: Lee Furman Inc. 1935. First Printing of the First Edition. A Near Fine tight copy in Very Good plus unclipped dust jacket with edge wear and creasing to the front panel. Stearns was a prolific journalist and writer who early in his career wrote for the New Republic and Dial magazine before moving to Paris in 1921 where he penned articles and columns for the New York Herald. Stearns symbolized the bitter emptiness the bewildered desperation of the generation that had survived a war only to face a world bent on forgetting its political sins in lust and liquor or whatever anodyne the moment might bring. Those strange futile years have been immortalized in the fiction of Hemingway and Fitzgerald; but here in Stearn's narrative they make their way into biography. No one has written more soberly about that drunken state of mind; no one has been more continent in describing these excesses; no one has romanticized less about the absurd romantic attitudes of the literary Bohemia.Stearns became the model for the character Harvey Stone in Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises. </p> Lee Furman Inc., hardcover

Major figures on the Paris scene—such as Gertrude Stein Jean Cocteau Picasso Stravinsky Diaghilev and Proust—continued to hold sway while others now came to prominence—including Ernest Hemingway Coco Chanel Cole Porter and Josephine Baker as well as André Citroën Le Corbusier Man Ray Sylvia Beach James Joyce and the irrepressible Kiki of Montparnasse. Les Années folles also saw an undercurrent of despair as well as the rise of ruthless organizations of the extreme right aimed at annihilating whatever threatened tradition and order—a struggle that would escalate in the years ahead.

Contemporary green pebbled cloth post-binder nickel-plated screwposts minor shelfwear light scuffing still VG exemplar. The Paris Exposition Universelle of 1900 introduced marvels which would transform the 20th Century the Modern Age featuring diesel engines talking films escalators the first magnetic audio recorder called the telegraphone and the massive Ferris wheel spread over 543 acres featuring 83000 exhibitors. The compiler has included photos of the Porte Monumental the Pavilion of Nations the Palace of Decorative Arts Palace of Costumes & Textiles The Cambodian Pavilion the Cambodian pagoda the Chinese Pavilion the Palace of Electricity and many others. The images all retain a strong contrast and unlike many of the commercial images produced at the time often show wandering patrons or crowds or a focus on many of the exceptional Art Nouveau architectural details which ornamented the Exposition. The remainder of the album focuses on a September 1901 summer holiday trip to the beaches of Arromanches with scenes of fishing boats pulled up on the sand views of the headland birds-eye photo of the commune and town views. Arromanches would 43 later serve as the site of the Mulberry artificial harbor installations and the Normandy D-Day landings.

[PARIS MAI 1968].
Manifestations Mai-Juin 1968.
Paris 1968. . Album 270 x 210 mm 10¾ x 8¼ in; 49 silver gelatin photographs with locations in ink on verso map in pen and ink; brown textured covers with title in ink on upper side black plastic spine bar.<br /> The night of May 10-11 1968 known as The Night of the Barricades was marked by fierce clashes between student protesters and police in the area around the Sorbonne. After police blocked protesters from reaching the ORTF Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française students began tearing up cobblestones and building barricades. Around 2am on May 11 police launched a charge and a violent confrontation continued until dawn. Nearly 500 students were arrested and hundreds more were hospitalised including 250 police officers. Far from quelling support the clashes deepened public sympathy for the students. What had started as a university-led movement for educational reform soon spread to engulf all of France.<br /><br />The photographs in this album show the aftermath of the night's events with the hand drawn map showing the areas around the Sorbonne centred on rue Gay Lussac with symbols showing the location of the barricades and burnt-out cars.<br /> [Paris], [1968]. unknown

[Paris Photography] Brassai
The Secret Paris of the 30's.
<p>New York:: Pantheon 1976. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Near Fine dust jacket with just a touch of edge wear. The Secret Paris of the '30s is one of the most evocative photographic memoirs ever published. For years it was known that Brassai had taken a series of 'secret photographs' which could not be published because of their daring nature. Alone or in the company of friends he discovered the forbidden Paris of the 1930s - its brothels whores pimps and opium dens - the sordid yet bewitching bas-monde where high society mingled with the underworld. Brassai's photographs reveal a milieu previously known only through books such as the novels of Henry Miller a frequent companion on his nocturnal rambles: the seamy grimy yet infinitely exciting reality that tourists still think of when they seek 'Paris by night'. These fascinating images are accompanied by Brassai's own text in which he describes the extraordinary conditions under which he took his photographs.</p> Pantheon, hardcover
