A stroll through the outskirts of postwar Paris and a journey through time in the company of two great artists.

Published by Seghers in 1949 and then reissued by Denoël in 1983, this book had become all but unfindable. This latest edition, with a book design reconceived by legendary designer Philippe Apeloig, is part of Denoël's revival of the celebrated Swiss author begun in 2022. This publication will enable fans of Cendrars to rediscover a densely written text at once vehement and poetic, while delighting photography lovers with images that have now become classic.
