The Courtesan and the Gigolo

by Aaron Freundschuh
This book uses the Pranzini Affair from 1887 Paris to examine social and political life at the time. Parallels with today are hard to avoid as the book examines the rise of right wing xenophobia and the looking for scapegoats among the outsider. Very interesting 7/10
