It is a book that captures the city as no other book has. Every effort has been made to reproduce the originál photographs as they have never been seen in book form before. Produced under the close supervision of BrassaYs heirs, the book has been printed in heliogravure in a quality rarely seen these days, giving it an extraordinary and memorable texture. To complete the evocation of the period, the Rantheon edition contains the originál introduction by the French writer Pau\ Morand. "BrassaT's pictures of Rarisian nightlife in the 1930s are remarkable ...with that special combination of detachment, excitement, and empathy we feel in an artist who has discovered his true métier." -Hilton Kramer, New York Times "The pictures grip the reader, conveying the fascination, even peril, of Raris by night. Fiiled with humor, adventure, and the mystery of Raris, the pictures radiate an extraordinary quality of unrehearsed, undirected naturalness, as though we were peeking at them through a window" -Róbert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times Vissza
