About This Item
New York: Bloomsbury, 2001. First U.S. edition, first printing (full number line). Hardcover. Fine in near fine(+) to fine(-) gently shelf-worn jacket. Large duodecimo or small octavo in white illus DJ, 211 pages : maps; 18 cm. Series: Writer and the City. ¶ A flâneur is a stroller, a loiterer, someone who ambles through a city without apparent purpose but is secretly attuned to the history of the place and in covert search of adventure, aesthetic or erotic. The author, who lived in Paris for sixteen years, wanders through the streets and avenues and along the quays, into parts of Paris virtually unknown to visitors and indeed to many Parisians.
