Publisher's Synopsis

The Three Cities Trilogy: Paris by Emile Zola is a classic work of French literature that explores the urban landscape of Paris in the late 19th century. The novel follows the lives of several characters as they navigate the city's bustling streets, encountering poverty, corruption, and social inequality at every turn. Zola's vivid descriptions of the city's architecture, neighborhoods, and inhabitants paint a vivid portrait of Paris during this tumultuous time in its history. The novel is part of a larger trilogy that also includes books set in Rome and Lourdes, and together they offer a sweeping look at the changing face of Europe in the late 1800s. With its richly drawn characters and evocative prose, The Three Cities Trilogy: Paris is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of France.Then the Chief of the Detective Force told the whole story: how Detective Mondesir, on being warned by a secret agent that the Anarchist Salvat was in a tavern at Montmartre, had reached it just as the bird had flown; then how chance had again set him in presence of Salvat at a hundred paces or so from the tavern, the rascal having foolishly loitered there to watch the establishment; and afterwards how Salvat had been stealthily shadowed in the hope that they might catch him in his hiding-place with his accomplices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
