How Paris Amuses Itself (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Here is another charming and informative book from Frank Berkeley Smith about his beloved Paris. The year is 1903 and the subject is: amusements. Enjoy.

The author of this delightful hook gives you the freedom
of the city. You visit the theaters, and cabarets, and
fetes foraines, and boulevards, and gardens, and water-
ways, and quiet little supper-rooms. You wander through
the honeycomb of ateliers, and balls, and cafes, and circuses.
All the amusements of Paris pass in review before you until
you feel almost a part of the gay ensemble which is forever
busy amusing its own amusing self.
