Zazie in der Metro

Zazie in the Metro is one of the most beloved French novels of the 20th century - a wild, playful, and hearty tale of Paris, of the languages of everyday life, and of the adventurous, smart-aleck Zazie who turns just about EVERYTHING upside down.

Madame Grossestittes wants to spend undisturbed hours with her lover. Therefore she gives her daughter Zazie to her brother Gabriel, who works in a cabaret. At her uncle's, the cheeky Zazie gets to know Gabriel's wife Marceline, the cab driver Charles, Turandot, who owns the bar downstairs, the waitress Mado, the parrot Laverdure and above all the exuberant Paris itself. Zazie has a single wish in her heart - she wants to ride the metro for once in her life. But this weekend, of all days, there is a strike on the metro.

Or so we thought! But after sixty years, Zazie actually gets on the Metro for the first time in this expanded edition of the novel ...
