'The Names of Parisian Streets' is a special kind of guide. It tells the story of words—the words written in white on blue plaques hanging on the walls of Parisian buildings. The book recounts the history of the names of Parisian streets, squares, bridges, and embankments. Behind each name lies either an episode in French history, a picturesque detail of everyday Parisian life, or a forgotten layer of the French language—and most often, all three. Translated, these names reveal names such as Cabbage Leaf Street and Kaplunova Street, Ferry Street and Stove Street, Fisherman's Street and Beautiful View Street—a view that opened up from a hill formed from centuries of rubble. This book will be interesting and useful not only for those who stroll through real Paris but also for those who read books about it, where street names are given in transcription rather than translation. 'The Names of Parisian Streets' is a continuation of the book 'Paris in 1814-1848: Everyday Life' by Vera Milchina, a leading researcher at the Institute of Historical and Cultural Studies at the Russian State University for the Humanities (NLO, 2013). 2nd edition.
