Book, Stories of two cities Paris, London and the birth of the modern city[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. Paris and London have always maintained a mutual fascination, which was never more intense than in the 18th and 19th centuries, when they competed to be the most important city in the world. Many books have been written about them, but in this work Jonathan Conlin explores, for the first time, the complex relationship between the two cities. It's a story of surprises: Sherlock Holmes was actually French, the cancan was English, and the first restaurant served English food in Paris. Stories of Two Cities examines and compares six urban spaces – the home, the street, the restaurant, the music hall, the night underworld and the cemetery. Borrowing, imitating and learning from each other, the citizens of Paris and London created these landmarks of the modern cityscape and thus defined urban life – for all of us.
