«Notre-Dame de Paris: Ô reine de douleur» is the essay by Sylvain Tesson, published by Des Équateurs in paperback (96 pages, in French).
With an elegiac tone, Sylvain Tesson turns Notre-Dame de Paris into the centre of a reflection on the history and memory of the city. The author evokes the symbolic value of the cathedral, its architecture and its place in the heart of Paris; the subtitle «Ô reine de douleur» reinforces that reading.
The cover reproduces a black-and-white photograph of the facade of Notre-Dame with a banner. Published on 3 May 2019. ISBN 9782849906798.
For readers with a command of French interested in Parisian heritage and non-fiction literature.
