București by Paul Morand
An impressionistic portrait of the interwar Romanian capital, this travelogue blends history, anecdote, and street-level observation to capture a city caught between Balkan traditions and European modernity. With wit and sharp social insight, it evokes salons and cafés, dusty boulevards and nocturnal cabarets, aristocrats and arrivistes, corruption and charm. The result is a vivid, sometimes caustic panorama of contradictions—opulence and squalor, elegance and disorder—that reveals a restless metropolis reinventing itself.
