## About this book

'One day in 1907 I was rounding the corner from Boulevard des Italiens to rue Gramont when a fluttering white piece of paper caught my eye. I grabbed it on the fly, by instinct, as if it were a theatre bill. At that moment, raising my eyes to the fourth floor of the nearest building, I saw a masked figure duck back and cry: "Hold on to that paper, Sir! I'll be right down for it."' Le flâneur des deux rives was published in the year of Apollinaire's death. More than a century later, the poet's ode to Paris is rendered in English for the first time. Peter Behrman de Sinéty teaches English at the École Normale Supérieure-Paris. His translations include Éric Chevillard's QWERTY Invectives and Maël Renouard's Fragments of an Infinite Memory and The Peking Opera Reform.
