Its periods of construction, destruction, neglect, and restoration are all outlined here in approachable terms. The decisive mid-19th century restoration of the building by architects E.E. Viollet-le-Duc and J.-B. Lassus, which gave the building its signature spire, is shown to have contributed to Notre-Dame much of its familiar medieval form, tragically damaged in the fire of April 15, 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eENDORSEMENTS: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKevin Murphy deftly untangles the tortured history of Notre-Dame Paris, revealing how this complex and multi-faceted building, with its roots in the Roman past, became the \"very face of France.\" Engagingly written for both the general reader and specialist, \u003ci\u003eThe Cathedral of Notre-Dame of Paris: A Quick Immersion\u003c\/i\u003e explains how this iconic structure bears witness to France's political past and present through its construction, destruction and restoration.
