Paperback. Etat : Very Good. "Neighbours and Rivals, more than a travelogue, is a tract: one that calls for more pragmatism in the running of a modern city and out of which our policymakers would do well to take a leaf." Country Life The first work of great French journalist Louis-Sebastien Mercier, this seminal work of travel writing remained unpublished for over 200 years. Mercier first travelled to London, and began recording his impressions, in 1780. An exemplar of a new form of journalistic, reflective literature, he presented emotive representations of the city as collections of experiences, habits and personalities. And differently from Dickenss London or Baudelaires Paris, with their contrasts of opulence and misery, Mercier describes a less familiar urban environment more optimistic, perhaps even utopian. His version of London is, in fact, a projection of his philosophical imagination not simply a rounded portrait but also a reflection of what he hoped Paris could become. For this first publication in English, Laurent Turcot and Jonathan Conlins translation preserves the life and humour of Merciers text. It is illustrated with contemporary images, with an emphasis on Thomas Rowlandson and Gabriel-Jacques de Saint-Aubin, the first Parisian flaneur-artist. . The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR014731951
