Sobre este artículo
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1926. Hard Cover. Good binding. Octavo.[6], 404, [2 (ads)] pp. First edition, fourth printing. In publisher's cloth with pictorial paper over boards. Binding is generally worn and tired; printed paper title label is chipped, though not touching the text; textblock is a little loose, but holding well enough; cryptic owner inscription (listing streets that appear to be in Chicago) on the front pastedown but in a way that suggest there is a "story." Anyone who can make a better than reasonable effort at making sense of it will garner a 30% on the book, contact me if you have thoughts. Bookseller's ticket on the rear pastedown.
Sinopsis
Considered by many to be John Dos Passos's greatest work, Manhattan Transfer is an "expressionistic picture of New York" (New York Times) in the 1920s that reveals the lives of wealthy power brokers and struggling immigrants alike. From Fourteenth Street to the Bowery, Delmonico's to the underbelly of the city waterfront, Dos Passos chronicles the lives of characters struggling to become a part of modernity before they are destroyed by it. More than seventy-five years after its first publication, Manhattan Transfer still stands as "a novel of the very first importance" (Sinclair Lewis). It is a masterpeice of modern fiction and a lasting tribute to the dual-edged nature of the American dream.
