Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 455 pages. The Paris we know today, with its grand boulevards, its bridges and parks, it s monumental beauty, was essentially built in only seventeen years, in the middl e of the nineteenth century. In this brief period, whole neighborhoods of mediev al and revolutionary Pais - overcrowded, dangerous, and filthy - were razed, and from the rubble a modern city of light and air emerged. This triumphant rebuild ing was chiefly the work of one man, Baron Georges Haussmann, Napoleon III's Pre fect of the Seine.It was Haussmann's task to assert, in stone, the power and permanence of Paris, to show the world that it was the seat of an empire of myt hic proportions. To this end, he imposed grand visual perspectives, as when he t ransformed Napoleon I's Arc de Triomphe into a magnificent twelve-armed star fro m which radiated the broadest boulevards of Europe. Below ground, his modern sew er system became one of the wonders of the civilized world, eagerly toured by ro yalty and commoners alike.Haussmann's mandate was not only to create an impr ession of grandeur, but to secure the city for better control by government. By creating formal spaces where there had previously been a maze of chaotic streets , Haussmann opened Paris to effective police control and thwarted the recurrent demonstration of its well-known revolutionary fervor. The determined and autocra tic Haussmann imprinted rational order and bourgeois civility on the unruly city which had for so long simmered with riot and insurrection. N° de réf. du vendeur 5417w
