这本书讲了一个澳大利亚女人带着全世界女人共有的——对巴黎的浪漫幻想,去巴黎进行了一些小资的旅行和她同样小资的朋友一起,然后记录下与巴黎有关的历史上的女性的奇闻轶事。 这本书是我还小的时候因为书皮漂亮买的,多少年了都没读完,现在更不下去了,随手翻完的。 读完这...
评分作者一边游玩巴黎一边品评巴黎的历代女性。如果你把这本书当做游览法国巴黎的指南书,你错了;作者无组织无计划地东写一点巴黎的建筑,西写一段巴黎破碎的景致,偶尔夹杂一点无病呻吟的想法,零零散散地,不成体系,不能当做旅游指南;如果你把这本书当做了解法国巴黎女人的历...
评分朋友送的,看封面和书名以为是那种发廊读物,所以一开始根本就没想过要翻。后来有一天出门前,发现包里没书,就临时抓了这本最近在咫尺的。 没想到内容是这么精彩,完全不是封面&书名&用纸的恶俗品位。相反,它更接近于通俗历史读物,类似于”巴黎交际花轶事”+...

Meet the dazzling women of Paris: from Colette to Nancy Mitford; Marie Antoinette to Coco Chanel; Madame de Stael to Pamela Harriman; Napoleon’s Josephine to Edith Wharton. Rule-breakers and style-setters, demimondes and diplomats, these women were utterly diverse, yet all shared one common passion — Paris, the world’s headquarters of femininity.
At a turning point in her life, Lucinda Holdforth journeys to Paris and takes a very personal tour through the lives, loves, and losses of its celebrated women. She evokes the city’s incarnations from Louis XIV through the French Revolution, two world wars and the Paris of the new millennium. As she walks in their footsteps, she draws inspiration from the fascinating women who created and nurtured the world’s most civilized city. Sophisticated, witty, and intelligent, this entrancing travelogue will seduce and inspire every woman in search of her own true pleasures.
