Книга: Manhattan Transfer (John Dos Passos)

2021 Reprint of the 1925 Edition. Manhattan Transfer is considered to be one of Dos Passos' most important works. The book attacks the consumerism and social indifference of contemporary urban life, portraying a Manhattan that is merciless yet teeming with energy and restlessness. The book shows some of Dos Passos' experimental writing techniques and narrative collages that would become more pronounced in his U.S.A. trilogy and other later works. The technique in Manhattan Transfer was inspired in part by James Joyce's Ulysses (1922), T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land, and bears frequent comparison to the experiments with film collage by Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein.Sinclair Lewis described it as "a novel of the very first importance . The dawn of a whole new school of writing." D. H. Lawrence called it "the best modern book about New York" he had ever read, describing it as "a very complete film . of the vast loose gang of strivers and winners and losers which seems to be the very pep of New York."Contents:Ferryslip -- Metropolis -- Dollars -- Tracks -- Steamroller -- Great Lady on a White Horse -- Longlegged Jack of the Isthmus -- Nine Days' Wonder -- Fire Engine -- Went to the Animals' Fair -- Five Statutory Questions -- Rollercoaster -- One More River to Jordan -- Rejoicing City That Dwelt Carelessly -- Nickelodeon -- Revolving Doors -- Skyscraper -- The Burthen of Nineveh.Издательство Martino Fine BooksМягкий переплетОбъем - 362 стр.Формат - 152x229 мм.ISBN 9781684224968Год издания: 2021
