Summary:  "A vivid investigation into the seamy underside of nineteenth and twentieth century -- a trip through Paris as it will never be again -- dark and dank and poor and slapdash and truly bohemian Paris, the City of Light. The city of the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, of soft cheese and fresh baguettes. Or so tourist brochures would have you believe. Luc Sante reveals the city's hidden past, its seamy underside -- one populated by working and criminal classes that, though virtually extinct today, have shaped Paris over the past two centuries. Drawing on testimony from a great range of witnesses -- from Balzac and Hugo to assorted boulevardiers, rabble-rousers, and tramps -- Sante takes the reader on a whirlwind tour. Richly illustrated, the book scuttles through the knotted streets of pre-Haussmann Paris; through the improvised accommodations of the original bohemians; through the massive garbage dump at Montfaucon, active until 1849, in which, 'at any given time the carcasses of 12,000 horses were left to rot.' A wildly lively survey of labor conditions, prostitution, drinking, crime, and popular entertainment, of the reporters, realiste singers, pamphleteers, and poets who chronicled their evolution, this upends the story of the French capital, to reclaim the city from the bon vivants and the speculators, and to hold a light to the works and days of the forgotten poor"--Provided by publisher.
