Paris, Julian Green discovered, when looked at on the map, takes on the shape of a human brain. His adopted home a street map of the human imagination, Green accompanies the reader on a stroll through this enchanted place – its secret stairways, courtyards and alleys – sharing his discovers and sense of wonder at every turning. A simple stroll through the city becomes a journey into the mind of a literary craftsman. This special bi-lingual edition is illustrated with the author’s own photographs.

Julian Green was born in Paris in 1900 of American parents. He published over 70 books in France and was a member both of the Académie Française and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He died in 1998.
