Iz zhizni dvukh gorodov.Parizh i London.Rozhdenie sovremennogo goroda 1700-1900 - Konlin D.

About the book:
-quot; the city itself will not tell you about the past, but it can be read as lifelines in the palm of your hand: on the corners of the streets, in the crosshairs of window frames and in the racks of stair railings, in the flutter of banners, in every little detail marked with scratches, scarches and others
This book is a story about two cities, London and Paris, eternal rivals and eternal lovers, which are actually a mirror image of each other. Jonathan Conlin creates an intriguing narrative by examining in detail six aspects of urban life: street, apartment, restaurant, dance, cemetery, crime world - and for the first time conducts a comparative analysis of the history of the two capitals.
The author convincingly shows how, as a result of the cultural exchange between London and Paris, in new apartments, in the spacious halls of the first restaurants in the rhythm of the cancan was born a modern metropolis.
