Paris

City of love. City of splendour. City of terror. City of dreams. Inspired by the haunting, passionate story of the city of lights, this epic novel weaves a gripping tale of four families across the centuries: from the lies that spawn the noble line of de Cygne to the revolutionary Le Sourds who seek their destruction; from the Blanchards whose bourgeois respectability offers scant protection against scandal to the hard-working Gascons and their soaring ambitions. Over hundreds of years, these four families are bound by forbidden loves and marriages of convenience; dogged by vengeance and murderous secrets; torn apart by the irreconcilable differences of birth and faith, and brought together by the tumultuous history of their city. Paris bursts to life in the intrigue, corruption and glory of its people.

  • "Der Meister des Monumental-Epos entdeckt Paris neu Fünf Familien, deren Schicksale sich mit der grossen Historie dieser Stadt über Jahrhunderte verweben: Die adligen Le Cygnes sind mit den armen Le Sourds seit der Niederschlagung der Pariser Kommune in einer Rachegeschichte unheilvoll verbunden. Die Brüder Gascon, die in den Hinterhöfen von Montmartre zu Hause sind, erleben bei der Errichtung des Eiffelturms Glanz und Elend - und, was den älteren der beiden Gascons betrifft, die grosse Liebe. Und schliesslich sind da die Blanchards, die im Napoleonischen Zeitalter im Kunsthandel ihr Glück machten, ebenso wie Kunsthändlerfamilie Jacob, die aber 1940 im Zuge der deutschen Besatzung alles zu verlieren drohen. Edward Rutherfurd, 1948 in Salisbury geboren, studierte in Cambridge und Stanford und lebt heute in New York. Seine Romane 'Sarum' (1990), 'London' (1998), 'Der Wald der Könige' (Blessing, 2000), 'Die Prinzen von Irland' (Blessing, 2005) und sein grosser New-York-Roman 'Im Rausch der Freiheit (Blessing, 2012) wurden internationale Bestseller."
