Samenvatting

In the newest addition to his Great Parisian Neighborhoods series, award-winning raconteur John Baxter leads us on a whirlwind tour of Montmartre, the hilltop village that fired the greatest achievements of modern art while also provoking bloody revolution and the bohemian misbehavior that made Paris synonymous with desire.

High on the northern edge of Paris, Montmartre has always attracted bohemians, political radicals, and searchers for artistic inspiration as well as those hungry for pleasure. In its winding, windmill-shadowed streets, the anarchist rising of the Commune erupted in 1871, and later Renoir, van Gogh, and Picasso seized a similar freedom to remake painting, while Toulouse-Lautrec drew the cancan dancers of the Moulin Rouge, celebrating a hedonism that titillated the world.

In Montmartre, bestselling author and IACP Award—winner John Baxter lifts the curtain on a district that visitors to Paris seldom see. From the tumbledown workshops of the Bateau Lavoir, in which Picasso and Braque created Cubism, to Clichy’s Cabaret of Nothingness, where guests dined at coffins under lamps of human bones, the whole of this mysterious enclave is explored.

For visitors and armchair travelers alike, Montmartre captures the excitement and seductive allure of this fascinating quarter, while also providing a practical guided tour to twenty must-see sites, plus dozens of illustrations and a map.

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
