Bemerkung:

Zustand: Pappeinband, sehr guter Zustand mit Schutzumschlag --- Inhalt: dreisprachig englisch, deutsch, französisch. This book presents the epic story of New York in photographs, photo-portraits, maps, and aerial views--nearly 600 pages of emotional, atmospheric images, from the mid-19th century to the present day. Supplementing this treasure trove of images are hundreds of quotations and references from relevant books, movies, shows and songs. The city`s fluctuating fortunes are all represented, from the wild nights of the Jazz Age and the hedonistic disco era, to the grim days of the Depression and the devastation of 9/11 and its aftermath, as its broken-hearted but unbowed citizens picked up the pieces.
