Summary "The Story of Paris" by Thomas Okey is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a comprehensive exploration of the evolution of Paris, from its origins in Gallo-Roman times through significant historical events that shaped the city and France. The narrative is infused with rich detail, bringing to life the cultural, political, and social dynamics that have defined Paris. The opening of this work sets the stage by discussing the ancient history of Paris, tracing its roots to the Gallo-Roman civilization. Okey introduces readers to the geographical advantages that made the settlement of Lutetia—a precursor to Paris—an essential hub for commerce and military strategy during the Roman conquest. The narrative transitions into the significance of the city during the early Christian era, including the legends of notable figures like St. Genevieve and the eventual establishment of Clovis as a major monarch. With references to the city’s legendary past and early Christian influence, the opening lays a foundation for understanding Paris's unique character and historical importance.
