Blending memoir travelogue and history The Seine is a love letter to Paris and the river
that determined its destiny. Master storyteller and longtime New York Times foreign
correspondent Elaine Sciolino explores the Seine through its lively characters - a bargewoman
a riverbank bookseller a houseboat dweller a famous cinematographer - and follows it from the
remote plateaus of Burgundy through Paris and to the sea. The Seine is a vivid enchanting
portrait of the world?s most irresistible river.
