Byen som engang ble kalt ?stens Paris har v?rt utsatt for store pr?velser, kanskje s?rlig de siste hundre ?rene. F?r Vietnamkrigen kunne man finne mye ? sette pris p?: en fargerik historie, en rik kultur, kald ?l, fransk champagne og bakverk, en velutdannet overklasse, eksotiske, vakre kvinner i det myke aftenlyset. Og opium... Mye har forandret seg siden den gang, og likevel s? lite. Reiseskildringer beskriver steder som har og har hatt en viktig posisjon b?de geografisk og kulturelt sett. Gjennom en kombinasjon av historiske milep?ler, morsomme og alvorlige anekdoter, viktige personligheter og bevegelser innen arkitektur, litteratur og kunst, formidles m?tet mellom fortid og n?tid med stor innlevelse og kunnskap.

Why I Recommend
Audible by Alan Twigg
Audible (an Amazon.com company) is the world's leading online
audio-book provider. Audible is responsible for supplying audio
content to Apple's ITunes service. I have been listening,
enjoying and creating audio books for many years. With
the arrival of the internet and portable digital devices,
audio-books began to become availalbe for download.
Having tried most of
the other download services myself, I finally came to
the conclusion that Audible offers the best and most
reliable service. Whether you are using an IPod, IPhone,
mobile phone, Dune or one of the many other MP3 players
availalbe, Audilbe makes downloading great quality audio
content easy and umcomplicated.
In addition to this, Audible also boasts the most comprehensive collection
of audio books anywhere. Depending on the promotion currently on
offer, you can download any audiobook of your
choice for free (including almost
certainly the title on this
page, too).
