THE ONLY STREET IN PARIS - ELAINE SCIOLINO TASC...

Elaine Sciolino  the former Paris bureau chief of The New York Times  invites us on a tour of
her favourite Parisian street. I can never be sad on the rue des Martyrs  Sciolino explains as
she celebrates the area's rich history and vibrant lives. While many cities suffer from the
levelling effects of globalisation  the rue des Martyrs maintains its distinct allure. Sciolino
reveals the charms and idiosyncrasies of this street and its residents-the Tunisian greengrocer
the husband-and-wife cheesemongers  the showman who's been running a transvestite cabaret for
more than half a century  the owner of a 100-year-old bookstore  the woman who repairs
eighteenth-century mercury barometers-making Paris come alive in all its majesty. The Only
Street in Paris will make readers hungry for Paris and for the kind of street life that is all
too quickly disappearing.
