Reviews

'Crackanthorpe's Marseille is a guide as well as a history. It has excellent photographs and chapters on topography, business dynasties, the city in literature, immigration, markets and the future... Crackanthorpe convinces us that if any city in Europe can resist the advance of international blandness and corporations, more deadening than decrees from Paris or Brussels, it will be Marseille. His book will make some readers want to go there at once.' --Spectator 'If you're looking for a more in depth exploration of Marseille, its history, its culture and its traditions try this.' --Marseille City of Culture website
