New York: A city where dreams are born.
Sinopsis
And now, the story of the world's most vibrant and exciting city is chronicled in a novel as unforgettable as the city itself. From the city's birth over three hundred years ago to the tragedy and the heroism of 9/11, Rutherfurtd's gripping saga takes us on a journey encompassing the War of Independence and the Civil War, thegangs of New York and the Ellis Island immigrants. From the glittering wealth of Fifth Avenue society to the devastation of the Wall Street Crash and the ghettos of the Lower East Side, the narrative is as ambitious and dramatic as the city which inspired it. In all this he never loses sight of the common man: the early English and Dutch traders, the slaves, the migrants, the politicians, society ladies, the whores and publicans, the soldiers, the artists and the financiers. Edward Rutherfurd is considered one of the worlds leading historical writers and New York is his most ambitious novel to date.
