Beschreibung

<p><b>New York - the city that never sleeps - is brought to life in this vivid and lively anthology. From Staten Island to the Statue of Liberty, for centuries authors and poets have been inspired to write about the heady highs and formidable lows of New York: its people, places and unique history.</b><br><br>One sweltering summer's day, Charles Dickens passes through Wall Street. James Weldon Johnson's anonymous narrator stumbles into a hidden bar full of poker players. Mark Twain recalls a dinner held in seven different languages. Anaïs Nin declares that she is in love...with the city itself.<br><br>New York has lived through immense challenges yet remains irrepressible, filled with constant energy, movement and excitement. All these different perspectives are captured by the prose and poetry of a wonderful range of writers including Audre Lorde, Walt Whitman, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Henry James, Langston Hughes and many more.<br><br>Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library series of gorgeous pocket-sized travel paperbacks, featuring <i>Treasures of Cornwall,</i> <i>Yorkshire: A Literary Landscape,</i> <i>London: An Illustrated Literary Companion</i> and <i>Paris: A Literary Anthology</i>. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. Edited and introduced by J. Michelle Coghlan.</p>
