THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! "A gripping page-turner...a riveting reminder of sacrifices made by history's most unlikely heroes." —Kristina McMorris, New York Times bestselling author of Sold on a Monday and The Ways We Hide An extraordinary book about a gifted architect who reluctantly begins a secret life of resistance, devising ingenious hiding places for Jews in World War II Paris. In 1942 Paris, architect Lucien Bernard accepts a commission that will bring him a great deal of money – and maybe get him killed. All he has to do is design a secret hiding place for a Jewish man, a space so invisible that even the most determined German officer won't find it while World War II rages on. He sorely needs the money, and outwitting the Nazis who have occupied his beloved city is a challenge he can't resist. Soon Lucien is hiding more souls and saving lives. But when one of his hideouts fails horribly, and the problem of where to conceal a Jew becomes much more personal, and he can no longer ignore what's at stake. Book clubs will pore over the questions Charles Belfoure raises about justice, resistance, and just how far we'll go to make things right.

“Architectural Flourishes: Paris France” is a pictorial guide illustrating the features, ornamentation and detailing that capture Paris’ mid to late 19th century architectural legacy. The majority of images may be traced to the ambitious reign of Napoleon III’s Second Republic and his appointed Prefect of the Seine Department, George-Eugene Haussmann. Commonly known as Baron Haussmann, he was directed in 1853 to orchestrate the modernization and transformation of Paris. He created that transformation by installing wider boulevards, parks, public works and creating a fertile environment for redevelopment. His office targeted the eradication of unsightly slums along with cramped and constricted commercial districts. His program obliterated significant traces of Paris’ medieval history. Approximately 350.000 people would be displaced over the sixteen-year duration of his crusade. Nine months before Napoleon III’s government collapsed, he was unceremoniously dismissed from office. The photographic imagery of this edition focuses on the architectural styling and exterior moldings prevalent during that era. The text details the accompanying history of the Haussmann era architecture and its two design successors. Haussmann styling would be supplanted initially by the Art Nouveau movement. Promoted during the Belle Époque period, the style was introduced during 1890 spreading afterwards throughout Europe. It receded in popularity upon the beginning of World War I. Art Deco architecture coincided with the fading of Art Nouveau’s influence beginning in 1910. Its was elevated into prominence at the International Exposition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts exhibition held in Paris during 1925. It remained a dominant style until 1939 and the global aggression inflicted by World War II. Paris features few reminders of the ancient settlement of Lutetia formed by a Celtic tribe known as the Parisii in the 3rd century BC. The Romans captured the community in 52 BC and converted it into a Gallo-Roman garrison. The community was rebuilt in the 1st century AD employing a traditional Roman style layout. The core of the settlement was the Ile de la Cite, the current location of Notre Dame Cathedral and the Palais de Justice. The city showcases scattered remnants from the Medieval and Renaissance eras. Most are ecclesiastical in context. They appear dwarfed by contemporary and statuesque Haussmann inspired constructions and facades. Haussmann’s designs elevated Paris into one of the most beautiful international cities. The architectural detailing photographed is a reminder that classic elemental design never ultimately goes out of fashion.
