Following on from Helen Constantine`s hugely successful Paris Tales, the twenty-two short stories included in More Metro Tales take the reader on an fascinating journey around Paris by metro. The journey begins at the Gare du Nord, stops at twenty underground stations along the way, & ends at Lamarck-Caulaincourt. Some of these stories actually take place in the metro itself, but most are to be found when you emerge above ground. They range from the 15th-century account of the miraculous Saint Genevieve, patron saint of Paris, through tales by favourite writers such as Zola, Simenon, & Maupassant, to Martine Delerm`s evocation of the last hours of Modigliani`s mistress, Jeanne Hebuterne. Gerard de Nerval evokes the thriving, bustling market in Les Halles in the 1850s; Colette recounts her involvement in a traffic accident near the Opera; Boulanger describes a blackly funny experience in Pere Lachaise. Each story is illustrated with a black-&-white photograph & there is a map & suggested itinerary round the metro system. Readers will find familiar & unfamiliar writers here, but all are masterly writers of the short story & each evokes a different aspect of this endlessly intriguing & much-loved city, whether the traveller is on the metro or at home sitting in an armchair. ...
