The City of Pleasure: A Fantasia on Modern Themes is a novel written by Arnold Bennett and published in 1907. The story is set in Paris and explores the lives of several characters from different backgrounds and social classes. The main character is a young Englishman named Denry Machin, who travels to Paris in search of pleasure and adventure. He becomes involved with a group of artists and bohemians, including a beautiful actress named Nellie Cotterill. As Denry navigates the city's nightlife and social scene, he also grapples with questions of morality and the meaning of life. The novel is a satirical commentary on the excesses and decadence of modern society, and it explores themes such as love, ambition, and the pursuit of happiness. Bennett's writing is witty and engaging, and the novel is a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 20th century Paris.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
