Qui ne s'est pas baladé dans Paris, le nez en l'air, sans autre but que le plaisir de voir, de humer, d'écouter ? Les écrivains ne s'en sont pas privés. Ils ont hanté les jardins du Palais Royal, arpenté les boulevards, se sont aventurés du côté des apaches et des fortifications. Ils ont raconté la ville et ses habitants, les constructions anciennes et nouvelles, le palais et l'atelier. A l'heure où cette tradition s'efface, ce livre propose une plongée qui a pour nous les charmes de la nostalgie.

A history of the barricade
$21.50
(available to order)
Summary:
The barricade was always a makeshift construction (the word derives from barrique or barrel), and in working-class districts these ersatz fortifications could spread like wildfire. They doubled as a stage, from which insurgents could harangue soldiers and subvert their allegiance. Their symbolic power persisted into May 1968 and, more recently, the Occupy(...)

Summary:
The barricade was always a makeshift construction (the word derives from barrique or barrel), and in working-class districts these ersatz fortifications could spread like wildfire. They doubled as a stage, from which insurgents could harangue soldiers and subvert their allegiance. Their symbolic power persisted into May 1968 and, more recently, the Occupy movements. Hazan traces the many stages in the barricade’s evolution, from the Wars of Religion through to the Paris Commune, drawing on the work of thinkers throughout the periods examined to illustrate and bring to life the violent practicalities of revolutionary uprising.
