«Conducteurs du siècle» is the social history essay on the Paris Métro by Collectif, published by Textuel in hardback (137 pages, in French).
Testimonies from Paris Métro drivers of different eras reconstruct the city's memory: passengers' rituals, sounds and smells of the underground, fashion and advertising, and social changes observed from the cab, such as the mixing of populations, the fall of taboos and the rise of precariousness.
The work includes a preface by Marc Augé and is part of the centenary celebrations of the Paris Métro.
For general readers interested in the social history of Paris and public transport.
