Paris Street Tales is the third volume of a trilogy of translated stories set in Paris. The previous two are Paris Tales, in which each story is associated with one of the twenty arrondissements, & Paris Metro Tales, in which the twenty-two stories are related to a trip round the Paris Metro. This new volume contains eighteen newly translated stories related to particular streets in Paris, & one newly written tale of the city. The stories range from the nineteenth century to the present day, & include tales by well-known writers such as Colette, Maupassant, Didier Daeninckx, & Simenon, & less familiar names such as Francis Carco, Aurelie Filipetti, & Arnaud Baignot. They present a vivid picture of Paris streets in a variety of literary styles & tones. Simenon`s Maigret is called upon to solve a mystery on the Boulevard Beaumarchais; a flaneur learns some French history through second-hand objects retrieved from the Seine; a nineteenth-century affair in the Rue de Miromesnil goes badly wrong; a body is discovered on the steps of the smallest street in Paris. Through these stories we see how the city has changed over the last two centuries & what has survived. All the tales in the book are translated apart from the last, a new story by David Constantine, based on the last days of the poet Gerard de Nerval. ...
