«L'Invention de Paris» is Eric Hazan's urban history essay, published by Seuil in paperback (461 pages, in French).
An essay that traverses Paris through squares, passages, barricades and walls, attending to the everyday life that shaped the city: street lighting, terraces, house numbering, confinement of the poor and the mad. It connects urban space with literature, from the Marais to the 11th arrondissement, and evokes the uprisings that marked its layout up to May 1968.
