Description for City of Immortals: P�re-Lachaise Cemetery, Paris
Review �In City of Immortals, Carolyn Campbell gives readers three books in one; a personal dialogue with the immortals, a scholarly history of funerary architecture and design, and an intimate tour of the world�s most famous cemetery.��It is indispensable for anyone who wants to truly get their mind around this amazing maze of art and death. Thankfully, a passionate American has set her laser focus on these 107-acres of corpses and copses.� --Laurie Pike, editor, The Paris Blog�City of Immortals is not only beautiful but helpful. P�re-Lachaise is the final resting place of Sarah Bernhardt, Fr�d�ric Chopin, Eug�ne Delacroix, Edith Piaf, Marcel Proust, Gertrude Stein, Isadora Duncan, Oscar Wilde and, somehow most famously, Jim Morrison. It�s a great place to visit?but a tough place to find your way around. Though, as Campbell is quick to point out, �Sometimes getting lost can be as rewarding as arriving at your intended destination.�� --Shana Nys Dambrot, arts editor, L.A. Weekly�The artist�s voluminous work is a gorgeous collection of words and images that captures the awe of the place, its legacy, its grace, its sense of peace and mystery.� --Genie Davis, art critic, Art and Cake magazine'That frustration turned into a three-decade project in which Campbell revisited and studied the cemetery, eventually creating an app for Francophiles. Now she and British landscape photographer Joe Cornish have a new book of 100 photographs, �City of Immortals: P�re-Lachaise Cemetery,� with an illustrated pullout map of 84 noteworthy grave sites.' --Los Angeles Times'Arguably the most famous resting place in the world, P�re-Lachaise Cemetery in Paris is also a vital tourist attraction, receiving some 3.5 million visitors each year. Carolyn Campbell's book City of Immortals explores the 107-acre labyrinth from its architectural and sculptural treasures to the graves of 84 cultural icons.' --Frommer's Read more About the Author Carolyn Campbell was born in Washington, DC, has lived in Paris, and is now a resident of Los Angeles.
