About the book: 2015 / The book of the famous St. Petersburg writer Mikhail German "In Search of Paris, or the Eternal Return" is the story of the wanderings of the soul, from adolescence dreams and imaginary journeys to real encounters with Paris, from children's games of musketeers to reflections on the mysterious attractiveness of the city, freed from popular myths and textbook ideas. This is a story about the sweet and not so nice details of everyday life in Paris, about its hidden codes, about a flurry of literary, historical, artistic associations. This is a book about how a person of Russian culture perceives Paris, but most importantly, it is a book about love for the great city, which probably no one can fully understand.
