«París libertad querida» is the essay by Julien Green, published by Paradigma in paperback (125 pages, in Spanish).
Julien Green reflects on Paris as a space dreamed and lived, a city whose essence is revealed to those who wander it without purpose and let its streets speak. The essay also champions freedom against any tyranny or doctrine, evoking Flaubert, Baudelaire, D.H. Lawrence, and James Joyce as writers who overcame censorship and ostracism.
Translation by Mónica Maragall. Belongs to the Essay Collection, number 10, published in Barcelona in 1990.
For readers interested in the literary essay and reflections on the city, freedom, and censorship.
Julien Green, often Julian Green, was an American writer who lived most of his life in France and wrote mostly in French and only occasionally in English. Over a long and prolific career, he authored novels and essays, several plays, and a biography of Francis of Assisi, produced a four-volume autobiography, and for decades maintained a daily journal that he edited and published in nineteen volumes. The posthumous publication of the unexpurgated text of his journals presented a different version of his personality and sexuality, revealed details of the lives of many of his prominent contemporaries, and documented the gay subculture of 20th-century France.
