Francophiles and Paris buffs will find something new and fascinating in this timeless guidebook, filed with sites, passageways, hotels, shops, and more What if—walking around Paris—instead of seeing only the Paris of 2017, you glimpsed Paris in Revolutionary times? Or Paris when it was home to 80,000 horses; or Paris lit by gaslight; or medieval Paris? What if—walking down a block in Paris—you recognized the signs, mosaics, pieces of hardware, and architectural details as relics of many centuries that have stories to tell of past eras? This is what Curiosities of Paris reveals. Each of the book’s 800 photos of unique locations and architectural oddities—as well as utilitarian objects whose functions have long been obscured with the passage of time—discloses a previously unnoticed city. Even those who know Paris well might never have registered the thousands of details on every street that testify to the enduring presence of the past: the solar cannon at Invalides, street signs with the word “saint” and all fleur-de-lys removed; the unique features of Parisian street lighting. You’ll never look at an elm tree the same way again. And, with Curiosities of Paris as your guide, you’ll feel very in-the-know as you walk down the Champs-Élysées past all the auto dealerships. Organized by subject—including fountains and wells; centuries-old shop signs; vestiges of wars and ancient Egypt; hotels of legend; remarkable trees; sundials and meridians; equestrian Paris; romantic ruins; unusual tombs, stairways, and passageways; religious relics; mosaics; public barometers and thermometers; and hundreds more urban elements and anachronisms—the book also includes three themed walks (along the city’s ancient walls, in the steps of Quasimodo, and through the French Revolution), as well as an index of street names. This absorbing compendium is an essential addition to the library of the armchair traveler and flâneur alike.
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana} Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863) was one of the towering figures to emerge in France in the wake of Napoleon. No other artist of the nineteenth century balanced a reverence for the past with such a strong ambition and spirit of innovation. Distinguishing himself from many other talented young artists in Paris, he gained renown in the 1820s for his novel subject matter, theatrical sense of composition, vibrant palette, and vigorous painterly technique. His vast production—including some eight hundred paintings, prints in a variety of media, and thousands of drawings and pages of writing—won the admiration of countless writers and artists, including Charles Baudelaire, Paul Cèzanne, and Pablo Picasso. This comprehensive monograph closely examines the full breadth of Delacroix’s career, including his engagement with the work of his predecessors, his fascination with the natural world, his interest in Lord Byron and the Greek War of Independence, and the profound influence of his voyage to North Africa in 1832. It brings to life his relationships with his contemporaries, ranging from the painters Pierre Narcisse Guèrin and Antoine Jean Gros to Gustave Courbet, as well as his exploration of literary, historical, and biblical themes, his writing in personal journals, and his triumphant exhibition at the Exposition Universelle of 1855. Richly illustrated and encompassing the entire range and diversity of his art, from grand paintings to intimate drawings, Delacroix illuminates how this intrepid figure changed the course of European painting by heeding “a call for the liberty of art.”
The chief exponent of French Neoclassical painting in the mid-nineteenth century, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres is noted for his cool, meticulously drawn works, representing the stylistic antithesis of the contemporary Romantic school. As a monumental history painter, Ingres sought to perpetuate the classical tradition of Raphael and Poussin, though today it is his portraits that are recognised as his greatest legacy. The extraordinary clarity of expression and microscopic detail of his work, rendered at a consistently, almost unbelievable quality won him many admirers. His expressive distortions of form and space made him an important precursor of modern art, influencing Degas, Picasso and Matisse. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail.

Patrice Chéreau (1944 - 2013) was one of France's leading directors in the theatre and on film and a major influence on Shakespearean performance. He is internationally known for memorable productions of both drama and opera. His life-long companionship with Shakespeare began in 1970 when his innovative Richard II made the young director famous overnight and caused his translator to denounce him publicly as an iconoclast, for a production mixing “music-hall, circus, and pankration”. After this break, Chéreau read Shakespeare's texts assiduously, “line by line and word by word”, with another renowned poet, Yves Bonnefoy. Drawing on new interviews with many of Chereau's collaborators, this study explores a unique theatre maker's interpretations of Shakespeare in relation to the European tradition and to his wider body of work on stage and film, to establish his profound influence on other producers of Shakespeare.
Radio, musique, parole. C’était aujourd’hui. La musique classique devait se faire toute petite. Jimi Hendrix était mobilisé pour venir en aide à Roland de Lassus. Le ton copain, bien dégagé derrière les micros, allait enfin combler le gouffre entre Grande Musique et petits auditeurs. A gauche, déferlement d’une parole déboutonnée ; à droite, robinet à musique. L’avenir était pour hier. A moins que... Une nouvelle radio pour la musique ? C’est demain. La radio est un art du futur. La parole y sera toujours davantage la bienvenue, car la demande de lien l’emporte déjà sur celle de flux. L’auditeur est plus alerte qu’il ne le croit lui-même. Il a envie d’un savoir : gai. D’une ouverture au cinéma sans images, tellement congru à la radio. Ou à la littérature, puisque la musique raconte aussi. Ou à la peinture, car elle dessine tout autant. Et de musique plus secrète enfin, comme d’une parole pour lui seul. Une radio pour accorder son droit au temps d’écouter, et même d’entendre. Pour estimer que Mozart ou Bartók sont une parade contre l’inanité ambiante. Pour tenir à manifester envers tant de beauté du passé sa « gratitude ». Pour croire, finalement, qu’une telle Considération de la musique n’est pas Inactuelle. DJ Dominique Jameux (1939) est musicologue, auteur (Richard Strauss, Alban Berg, Pierre Boulez, L’Ecole de Vienne...), journaliste, conférencier, scénariste TV. Producteur sur France Culture et surtout France Musique de 1972 à 2008.
La " fortune " d'Alban Berg aura été étrange : aimé et honoré de son vivant, occupant toute sa place historique dans l'Ecole de Vienne, il faudra attendre les dernières années, en France, pour que le sentiment de se trouver devant un des principaux artisans de notre modernité soir partagé sans réserves. Le compositeur a écrit. Des textes de nature très diverse : esthétique, polémique, historique, analytique. Certains étaient connus des mélomanes français, mais étaient devenus introuvables. La présente publication constitue la première édition générale des Ecrits, avec de nombreux inédits en français. Nul doute que cet ensemble ne conduise à une meilleure connaissance du compositeur de Wozzeck et de Lulu, désormais indispensable à notre culture musicale et humaine.
