"Parisians are renowned the world over for their elegance and savoir-faire, but few are more urbane and savvy than the feline denizens of the City of Light. Cats have captivated the city's imagination for hundreds of years, inspiring writers as diverse as Chateaubriand, Baudelaire, and Colette. From dainty kittens peering from shop windows to mysterious tomcats slinking across rooftops. This is a collection of black and white photographs by master photographers of the twentieth century, accompanied by whimsical words of French intellectuals.".--front cover matter.

Dogs are widely pampered by their owners in Paris. Elevated almost to the status of human beings, well-fed and immaculately groomed, these creatures are seen throughout the city riding the Metro, sitting in the front seat of a taxi, or relaxing side by side with their maitre at a cafe table.

Medicine and Maladies explores the aesthetic, medical, and socio-political contexts that informed depictions of illness and disease in nineteenth-century France. Eleven essays by specialists in nineteenth-century French literature and visual culture probe the acts of writing, reading, and viewing corporeal afflictions across the works of medical practitioners, surgeons, pharmacists, novelists, and artists. Tracing scientific discourse in literary narratives and signalling references to fiction in medical texts, the contributions to this interdisciplinary volume invite us to rethink the relationship between the humanities and the medical sciences.

Chat y es-tu ? Les minets parisiens ne sont pas faciles à débusquer tant ils aiment se cacher dans les recoins les plus secrets. Des allées du Père-Lachaise aux venelles de Montmartre en passant par les gouttières vertigineuses, mais aussi devant les cafés, aux abords des loges de concierge ou même dans les vitrines des vieilles boutiques, c'est au prix d'une véritable partie de chat perché qu'on peut espérer leur tirer le portrait. Les plus grands photographes ne s'y sont pas trompés, qui ont saisi au gré de leurs promenades les images attachantes des matous des toits ou des minous-lecteurs. Kertész, Brassaï, Doisneau, Ronis, Cartier-Bresson, Boubat, Izis, Janine Niepce ou Martine Franck, entre autres, signent les photos de cette anthologie empreinte d'une grâce toute féline.
