New York

0/5 ( ratings)

With time, superlatives seem meaningless when it comes to describing New York. Its inhabitants call it quite simply the "big apple". City of hyperbole par excellence, particularly its skyscrapers, New York is a hodgepodge of languages and races of a thousand hues. Theatres and Broadway musicals, the ruthless world of Wall Street finance, villages and communities with their rituals and customs all reveal the nuances of tone which "make" New York. "That's New York", as Gene Kelly sang.Today New York is the last great hotbed of creativity: architecture, design, literature, fashion, painting. New York defies the laws of gravity, poised between Anglo Saxon rationality and avant garde madness. This book enables the reader to enjoy the unforgettable experience of New York as it moves resolutely into the third millennium.
