Lafarge, Paul Haussman, or the Distinction
NY Farrar, Straus & Giroux 2001 0374168334 / 9780374168339 First Edition Hardcover Very Good in Good dust jacket
Jacket appears to have been chewed by a cat with several tooth pricks on spine and top corner of front jacket panel chomped away, else a clean, tight copy. This New York Times Notable Book is based on the real-life figure of "Baron" Georges-Eugene Haussmann, who was Napoleon's Urban Renewal Czar, charged with demolishing the old alleyways and apartments of Paris and replacing this fabric with the Arc de Triomphe, radiating boulevards and grand new architecture. Lafarge's book tells the story of Haussmann's city planning designs through the eyes of many characters, including a young foundling girl uprooted from a cramped, medieval neighborhood, a "demolition man" who sells off architectural rubble and Haussmann himself. ; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; 382 pages
