Le voyage à Paris : Les Américains à l'école de la France (1830-1900)

His detailed storytelling makes history feel alive. I wonder what drew him to explore this specific slice of history.

The descriptions of Paris felt so vivid — I kept imagining what it was like to be there in the 1800s. Did the book make others want to travel?

There were so many fascinating figures, but the book had to focus on just a few. I’m curious about his process in selecting these particular lives.
