Binding: Paper
Description:
In this first general history of the Eiffel Tower in English,
Jill Jonnes-acclaimed author of Conquering Gotham-offers
an eye-opening look not only at the construction of one of the
modern world's most iconic structures, but also the epochal event
that surrounded its arrival as a wonder of the world. In this
marvelously entertaining portrait of Belle Époque France, fear
and loathing over Eiffel's brash design share the spotlight with
the celebrities that made the 1889 Exposition Universelle an
event to remember-including Buffalo Bill and his sharpshooter
Annie Oakley, Thomas Edison, and artists Whistler, Gauguin, and
van Gogh. Eiffel's Tower is a richly textured portrait of an era
at the dawn of modernity, reveling in the limitless promise of
the future.
