With affectionate humor and keen observation, Paul introduces an unforgettable cast of shopkeepers, eccentrics, lovers, and laborers who populated this single cobblestoned block, illustrating how an entire world could exist within a few hundred feet of pavement. The narrative captures the rhythms of everyday Parisian life with novelistic richness, presenting the street's community as a microcosm of French society on the eve of great upheaval. Paul's prose is both celebratory and elegiac, honoring a way of life that the coming of World War II would irrevocably shatter. First published in 1942, this beloved classic remains one of the most charming and humanizing portraits of Paris ever written by an American abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792274469083,"sku":"2026200004853-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/75319aa7-a7cc-4b9e-b288-eb9bd51e8dd2.png?v=1779274470","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200004853-secondhand-a-narrow-street","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
