In Paris dispels the myth that there is only one type of Parisian woman, and offers a rare glimpse of the city that real Parisiennes live in - taking us into their homes, their careers, their style - and what being Parisian means to them. Witty, elegant, and modern, In Paris reveals the secret to living like a Parisian, wherever and whoever you are.

From four stunning and accomplished French women -- at last -- a fresh and spirited take on what it really means to be a Parisienne: how they dress, entertain, have fun and attempt to behave themselves. In short, frisky sections, these Parisian women give you their very original views on style, beauty, culture, attitude and men. The authors--Anne Berest, Audrey Diwan, Caroline de Maigret, and Sophie Mas -- unmarried but attached, with children -- have been friends for years. Talented bohemian iconoclasts with careers in the worlds of music, film, fashion and publishing, they are untypically frank and outspoken as they debunk the myths about what it means to be a French woman today. Letting you in on their secrets and flaws, they also make fun of their complicated, often contradictory feelings and behavior. They admit to being snobs, a bit self-centered, unpredictable but not unreliable. Bossy and opinionated, they are also tender and romantic. You will be taken on a first date, to a party, to some favorite haunts in Paris, to the countryside, and to one of their dinners at home with recipes even you could do -- but to be out with them is to be in for some mischief and surprises. They will tell you how to be mysterious and sensual, look natural, make your boyfriend jealous, and how they feel about children, weddings and going to the gym. And they will share their address book in Paris for where to go: At the End of the Night, for A Birthday, for a Smart Date, A Hangover, for Vintage Finds and much more. How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are will make you laugh as you slip into their shoes to become bold and free and tap into your inner cool.

Описание: "There's a new humorist in town and his name is me." That's how author, Jay Snyder, would have you see his new genre blend "Parisian Reasons: An Homage to Hemingway's A Moveable Feast." Part parody and part homage, here's a look at strengths and foibles, directness and self-delusion, love and hate.The stage is Paris in the twenties or is it? We recognize Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, and T.S. Eliot but where did the laptops and the cellphones come from? And why are they making homemade cheese for a Croc-monsieur? This Paris, this world is a madcap mash-up where time collides on itself. It's still a feast that lasts a lifetime and goes anywhere, and Snyder's observations, insights and eccentricities feel very much as if they passed through Hemingway's mind on the way to the page.Funny, delightful, and puzzling when the observer sees in the mirror the person he wishes to see rather than who's really there. But don't we all have a bit of that quality in us? Isn't that how we live? Isn't that what makes living a bearable Gulagian madhouse for some?If you know Hemingway, you'll recognize many of the send-ups. If you've never read a word or seen any of the film adaptations, you'll still find "Parisian Reasons" enjoyable: filled with wit, modesty, and exuberance - not the Hemingway you expected because he isn't. He's Jay Snyder.

Описание: This intriguing study shows that a religious revolt, spurred by deep divisions within the church, followed the princely and parlementary rebellions of the French civil war known as the Fronde. The cures vied with the crown, the bishops, and the Jesuits for control of the parishes. In examining the Fronde, Golden demonstrates the connection between Janenism, Richerism, and ecclesiastical politics and how it shaped the rule of Louis XIV and the role of the cures in the French Revolution.Originally published in 1981.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
