📱 eBook en inglés CITIES IN LITERATURE: NEW YORK

Welcome to the Jazz Age in the Big Smoke. Or the Big Apple. Whatever you want to call it, just make sure your stockings are tight and your hat is held high!

Well start our journey exploring high society in Edith Whartons The Age of Innocence before attending the most dazzling and daring party of them all in F. Scott Fitzgeralds The Great Gatsby.

While Henry James ´Washington Square´ will see interfering fathers attempt to thwart the path of love, well encounter two very different visions of how to change and champion New Yorks society in William Dean Howells A Hazard of New Fortunes.

Lastly, well return to the rotten roots of New Yorks foundations in Washington Irvings A History of New York. It will make you stop, think, and reimagine the concrete jungle as we know it today.

Cities in Literature: New York is not only the perfect historical companion for fans of The Big Short starring Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, and Brad Pitt but essential reading for fans of Leonardo DiCaprio in the smash-hit film The Great Gatsby.
