Features: Lin Da, who writes about America, embarks on another romantic journey to the City of Light. However, places burdened by history are always heavy: "A hundred years can accumulate, struggle, and reflect to produce a Hugo. A hundred years are also enough to renew, bury a piece of history, and thus forget it entirely, so that an entire nation does not progress because of what it has experienced. Paris is a city, but also a microcosm of history. You will feel some of their historical perspectives. Lin Da is the author who has written several books on 'Seeing America Up Close,' the same Lin Da who wrote 'Watching the World from the Edge.' Now, she travels to Paris with a literary masterpiece about 'revolution' ('93'). In the castles, squares, palaces, churches, and museums of France, she chews on the fruits of culture, savoring the banquet of art, listening to the echoes of history, and grasping the thoughts and wisdom forged in blood and fire by her predecessors—within the profound French historical and cultural atmosphere, the author enriches her understanding of art, culture, history, society, and 'revolution' with abundant historical details and scenes. This book includes chapters such as 'Taking a Book to Paris,' 'Haussmann and Old Paris,' 'The ?le de la Cité on the Seine,' 'Parisian Churches,' 'Saint-Denis and His Head,' and more.
