With stunning architecture and the first trains to be powered by electricity, the station welcomed the world. At the heart of the station was a brilliant clock that hung high above the crowds. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The clock was essential in keeping the station humming. It was as beautiful as it was important. Until it was not. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Paris expanded and soon outgrew the station. The crowds moved elsewhere, and the clock was abandoned. But memories are strong, and a love of beauty remains. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this poignant account of the transformation of a Paris train station into the world-class Musée d'Orsay (Orsay Museum), Pam Fong invites readers to experience the decades-long journey of a resilient clock, and to discover a lasting truth--there is always time for second chances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pam Fong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Union Square Kids\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.15h x 8.87w x 0.46d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781454955009","brand":"Ripon Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44282579222573,"sku":"9781454955009","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/0501\/1245\/files\/img_633470c0-ee5e-456c-bd64-3aed60cbf760.jpg?v=1761576986","url":"https:\/\/riponbookstore.com\/products\/the-clock-9781454955009","provider":"Ripon Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
