Martin is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the lesser-known facets of Paris, exploring the city's rich tapestry of history through its architecture and significant monuments, highlighting the human stories that have shaped its evolution. The opening of this volume sets the stage for a journey through the hidden Paris, far removed from the typical tourist attractions. The authors invite readers to embrace the role of "Sentimental Prowlers," wandering through forgotten streets and seeking out relics that recount the lives of historical figures and ordinary citizens alike. Through vibrant descriptions, they describe ancient staircases and towers, offering insights into their significance while mourning the rapid changes imposed by modernity that threaten to erase the city's history. The introduction serves to engage curious minds who yearn to uncover the personal narratives etched into the stones of this iconic city.
