Sobre este artículo
UK: Constable, 1927. First Edition . Decorative Cloth. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 1st Edition 1927. 1st UK edition and very scarce. Focusing on the development of Urban Life in New York City from the Gilded Age to the Jazz Age, De Passos' Manhattan Transfer is considered one of his most important works and bears frequent comparison to to the experiments with film collage by Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein. Through a series of overlapping individual narratives, the book attacks the consumerism and social indifference of contemporary urban life, portraying a Manhattan that is merciless yet teeming with energy and restlessness.. Book is very good and bright. Spine lightened. Contents good. Bookplate to endpaper. More images can be taken upon request. Ref16156
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.
