Author: Simon Kuper
Narrator: Tim Frances

An entertaining and openhearted tale of a naïf eventually getting to understand a complex, glittering, beautiful and often cruel society-at least a little. When Simon Kuper left London for Paris in his early thirties, he wasn’t planning to make a permanent move. Paris, however, had other plans. Kuper has grown middle-aged there, eaten the croissants, seen his American wife through life-threatening cancer, taken his children to countless football matches on freezing Saturday mornings in the city’s notorious banlieues, and in 2015 lived through two terrorist attacks on their neighborhood. Over two decades of becoming something of a cantankerous Parisian himself, Kuper has watched the city change.

One of the most brilliant filmmakers in post-war France and world cinema, Jean-Pierre Melville now enjoys renewed popularity. His "Bob le flambeur" (with its street-wise Montmartre and Pigalle settings, its cool jazz score and its good-humoured tale of gangster clans) not only inspired the New Wave but has attained unassailable cult status. Other iconic gangster films such as "Le Doulos," "Le Samourai" and "Le Cercle rouge" are now hailed as masterpieces by latter-day legends John Woo and Quentin Tarantino. Meanwhile, with "Le Silence de la mer" and "L’Armee des ombres," Melville also contributed two of the greatest films about the Resistance during World War II.

The intertwined histories of Paris and of the River Seine are interesting but complicated. It is the Seine, however with all its ports, bridges, boats, commerce, monuments, and vistas, that has always been the keystone in the arch of Paris life, both in the past and now in the present. The great French medievalist Jean Favier (1932-2014) summed up its story in just six words: "Paris is born of the Seine."
