Paris: The Novel Tapa dura - 2013

Reseñas en medios

“Neatly plotted tales that choose a place and weave through its centuries of history are the specialty of this bestselling Cambridge-educated author. . . . Rutherfurd’s prose is so clean and unembellished, the dialogue so fluid and true to the era it’s spoken in that . . . the more you read, the more you want. The characters are memorable. . . . Hemmingway-esque. . . . The book is delightfully filmic.”
—Gazette (Montreal)

“The amount of information conveyed in the course of this long narrative is impressive and (as far as I can tell) accurate. . . . [Paris] is highly accomplished and almost always absorbing and entertaining. The characters are nicely delineated. . . . One aspect of the novel impressed me mightily: Rutherfurd's skill in keeping so complex a narrative clear and comprehensible. I hope this does not sound patronising: Paris strikes me as popular fiction at its best.”
—Sydney Morning Herald

“For his eighth novel, Edward Rutherfurd sticks faithfully to his bestselling formula. . . . The individual stories vary in interest, but once again Rutherfurd proves his real knack is with history, in detail and sweeping overviews alike, to give genuinely fascinating re-creations of Parisian life through the ages.”
—Daily Mail (UK) 

“Edward Rutherfurd is known for his sweeping epics that tell the history and growth of great cities through the lives of their citizens.”
—StarTribune
 
“Rutherford has crafted several interesting characters. . . . He beautifully invokes the South of France and the influx of Americans to that region, and equally writes exceedingly well about the French Resistance.”
—The Evening Herald (Dublin)

"You will savour the novel even if you haven’t been there. Like Paris, Paris never disappoints.”
—Vancouver Sun
