Book excerpt: "Combining the work of two extraordinary artists--Eugène Atget, a giant of early photography, and Marcel Proust, the French novelist--this stunning volume, in 120 haunting photographs and a brilliant text taken from Remembrance of Things Past, brings to life Paris at the turn of the twentieth century. More than a re-creation of a particular metropolitan setting, A Vision of Paris evokes a fusion of time and place, a rich sensory world of people and pleasures, sights, sounds, smells, and customs that is so distinctly parisien."--Publisher's description.
