-Fabricante :
Bloomsbury Publishing
-Descripcion Original:
About the Author Sam Roberts, a 50-year veteran of New York journalism, is an obituaries reporter and formerly the Urban Affairs correspondent at the New York Times. He hosts the New York Times Close Up, which he inaugurated in 1992, and the podcasts Only in New York, anthologized in a book of the same name, and The Caucus. He is the author of A History of New York in 27 Buildings, A History of New York in 101 Objects, and Grand Central: How a Train Station Transformed America, among others. He has written for the New York Times Magazine, the New Republic, New York, Vanity Fair, and Foreign Affairs. A history adviser to Federal Hall, he lives in New York with his wife and two sons. From award-winning New York Times reporter Sam Roberts, the story of the worlds most exceptional city, told through 31 little-known yet pivotal inhabitants who helped define it. In Sam Robertss pulsating history of the worlds most exceptional metropolis, greet the city anew through thirty-one unique New Yorkers youve probably never heard of-just in time for the citys 400th birthday. The New Yorkers introduces the first woman to appear nude in a motion picture, becoming the face of Civic Fame as Miss Manhattan; the couple whose soiree ended the Gilded Age with an embarrassing bang; and the husband and wife who invented the modern celebrity talk show. It reveals the victim of the citys first recorded murder in the seventeenth century and the high school dropout who slashed crime rates in the twentieth. The notorious mobster who was imperiously banished from the city and the woman who successfully sued a bus company for racial discrimination a century before Rosa Parks. Some deserved monuments, but their grandeur was overlooked or forgotten. Others shepherded the city through its perpetual evolution, but discreetly. Virtually all have vanished into New Yorks uncombed history. The New Yorkers is a living biography of the worlds greatest city, and no one knows New York better than Sam Roberts-or is better at bringing its history to life. Review “Roberts knows his New York, in the way both of a scholar who’s read everything ever published on the city’s past and of a reporter who’s spent his career engaging its people … [The New Yorkers] abounds in rich portraits of unheralded New Yorkers whose lives and, in some cases, deaths are worth recalling.” New York Times Book Review “[The New Yorkers] is my favorite kind of municipal portrait, a gathering of profiles, not of the famous but the merely pivotal. So, murder victims, union organizers and talk show hosts. As Roberts writes: ‘Sometimes people who seem small at the time leave a larger-than-life legacy.” Chicago Tribune [The New Yorkers is] a detailed look at mostly unknown folks who contributed to the city … Roberts focuses on ordinary people involved in extraordinary things, city dwellers who caught our imagination - at least for a moment. - New York Daily News “Roberts knows New York on an almost cellular level … Roberts tells an epic tale through these 31 stories, the evolution of a great city developed by people who wrote history with their lives.” New York Journal of Books Roberts, a legendary chronicler of the city, now writing obituaries for the New York Times, digs into the past and illuminates New Yorkers who didn’t make it into the usual narratives of the city yet played a transformative role or personified a moment in its history . . . a congenial expert guide in essays. - The National Book Review “[Sam Roberts] has done a fantastic job of engaging his readers with the past … The New Yorkers is an excellent book that readers will find fascinating and full of interesting historical tidbits.” Bowling Green Daily News “Entertaining and informative … Robertss wry wit and rigorous research enliven accounts of the Triangle Shirtwaist fire, the displacement of white residents from Harlem, and more. The result is a treasure trove of New Yor
