Walk With Me New York
From photographer Susan Kaufman, an intimate celebration of the beauty and charm of New York City
For some people, New York City exists only in their imaginations, a big-screen beacon of wonder and twenty-four seven delight. For others, it's a dream destination: the diverse urban center where they will finally feel they belong. And still for many, it's the place they already call home. No matter how you view New York, longtime fashion editor and photographer Susan Kaufman will help you see the city with fresh, appreciative eyes.
As she travels with her camera through New York, Susan Kaufman invites readers to see the city as she does: from the sidewalk. She explores the beauty of the city found in its charming townhouses, decorated shops, lovely parks, shop facades, and serene streetscapes. New York may be known as the city that never sleeps, but beneath the bustle, there's a soulful side, with its own quiet power and universal allure. Walk with Me New York invites readers to appreciate the streets and buildings that have made the world's most iconic city survive centuries of change yet retain its vitality and aspirational magnetism.
The Gods of New York
A Foyles Top Ten Read for August
From bestselling author Jonathan Mahler, comes a sweeping chronicle of four years in 1980s New York that would transform the city and leave it more divided than ever. A rollicking, real-life Bonfire of the Vanities, featuring the larger-than-life personalities of Donald Trump, Spike Lee, Ed Koch, Al Sharpton, Rudy Giuliani, and countless others.
New York City entered 1986 as a city reborn, with record profits on Wall Street sending waves of money splashing across Manhattan and bringing a once-bankrupt and reeling city back to life. But it also entered 1986 as a city divided. Nearly one-third of the city's Black and Hispanic residents were living below the poverty line. Thousands of New Yorkers were sleeping in the streets - and in many cases addicted to drugs, dying of AIDS, or suffering from mental illness. The manufacturing jobs that had once sustained a thriving middle class had vanished. Long-simmering racial tensions were boiling over.
Over the next four years, a singular confluence of events - involving a cast of outsized, unforgettable characters - would widen those divisions into chasms. Ed Koch. Donald Trump. Al Sharpton. The Central Park Five. Larry Kramer. Spike Lee. Rudy Giuliani. Howard Beach. Tawana Brawley. The Preppy Murder. The Tompkins Square Riots. Jimmy Breslin. Ivan Boesky. Do the Right Thing, Wall Street, crack, the AIDS epidemic, Black Monday and, of course, ready to pour gasoline on every fire - the tabloids.
In The Gods of New York, bestselling author Jonathan Mahler tells the story of these outsized characters and of these convulsive, defining years. It's an exuberant, kaleidoscopic, and deeply immersive portrait of a city in transformation, one whose long-held identity was suddenly up for grabs: Could it be both the great working-class city, drawing in and lifting up immigrants from around the world and the money-soaked capital of global finance? Could it retain a civic culture - a common idea of what it meant to be a New Yorker - when the rich were building a city of their own and vast swaths of its citizens were losing faith in the systems that were intended to protect them? New York was one thing at the dawn of 1986; it would be something very different as 1989 came to a close. This book is the story of how that happened.

Egy New York-i pillanat
Sziporkázón vidám történet igaz barátságról, arról, hogyan legyünk bátrak, bármilyen nehézségek elé állít is az élet, és arról, mit nyerhetünk azzal, ha a valódi lényünket mutatjuk a világnak. Igazán édes, humoros ajándék ez a könyv! – Christina Lauren, a New York Times bestsellerírója.
Franny Doyle élete legpocsékabb napját éli. Felmondanak neki a munkahelyén, ami mellesleg nem is volt annyira izgalmas, aztán a metróban a becsukódó ajtó elszakítja kedvenc selyemruháját, fél Manhattan elé villantva Franny hátsó felét. Majd mindezek után egy jóképű idegen menti ki a ciki szituból azzal, hogy odaadja a (Gucci!) zakóját. Ám a férfi nem ússza meg ennyivel.
És ha mindez nem lenne elég, valaki kiposztolja kínos találkozásukat az Instagramra. Hirtelen és akaratuk ellenére Franny és jól öltözött elegáns megmentője, III. Hayes Montgomery a közösségi oldalak szenzációjává válnak. Egész New York róluk beszél.
Csakhogy Franny és Hayes végképp nem illenek össze. Franny ábrándozó, fecsegő és kreatív. Hayes komoly, visszafogott és realista. Még az a szerencse, hogy egy nyolcmilliós városban nem sok esély van arra, hogy újra találkozzanak. És mégis: folyton összefutnak, véletlenül és teljesen váratlan helyeken, és legnagyobb meglepetésükre, élvezik egymás társaságát. Nagyon is. Ám amikor Franny élete újra a feje tetejére áll, vajon lesz-e bátorsága ahhoz, hogy bízzon önmagában, és beleugorjon abba az életbe és szerelembe, amire mindig is vágyott?

Art Nouveau Glasgow, Amsterdam, New York
Art Nouveau developed in very different forms between the 1880s and the First World War, starting in Western Europe. Organic lines and plant forms, building in iron, glass and concrete, as well as the idea of the “Gesamtkunstwerk” (Complete work of art) can be found in London, Glasgow, and Riga, as well as in St. Petersburg and Moscow. But above all in the Scandinavian countries and in Eastern Europe, Art Nouveau often developed into a young national style of its own, frequently with a return to regional traditions. In other countries, such as the Netherlands or the USA, the path seems to lead directly into Modernity, especially in architecture.

Francúzske bozky v New Yorku
Oplatí sa veriť v osudovú lásku?
Margot neprestajne myslí na Zacha, mladého Američana, s ktorým sa zoznámila jedného letného večera pod Eiffelovou vežou. Magickú noc strávenú v uliciach Paríža zavŕšia bozkom a prísľubom, že sa o rok stretnú na vopred určenom mieste. Ak sú pre seba stvorení, osud to zariadi.
O rok prichádza čerstvá absolventka strednej školy Margot do New Yorku, aby si našla prácu v uznávanej reštaurácii, oslávila blížiacu sa otcovu svadbu a konečne sa stretla so Zachom.
Za rok sa však môže mnohé zmeniť a sľuby pošepnuté v tieni Eiffelovej veže nadobúdajú v žiare neónov vo Veľkom jablku celkom inú podobu. Margot zúfalo pátra po Zachovi a o pomoc požiada aj Bena, sympatického kolegu. Je presvedčená, že v Zachovi stretla pred rokom spriaznenú dušu… Lenže čo ak má osud iné plány? V New Yorku je možné všetko. Najmä l'amour v americkom štýle.
Z anglického originálu French Kissing in New York (Delacorte Press, New York 2023) preložila Adriana Sýkorčinová.

Knickerbocker's History of New York
Knickerbocker's History of New York is a satire on self-important local history and contemporary politics. Prior to its publication, Irving started a hoax akin to today's viral marketing campaigns; he placed a series of missing person adverts in New York newspapers seeking information on Diedrich Knickerbocker, a crusty Dutch historian who had allegedly gone missing from his hotel in New York City. As part of the ruse, Irving placed a notice—allegedly from the hotel's proprietor—informing readers that if Mr. Knickerbocker failed to return to the hotel to pay his bill, he would publish a manuscript Knickerbocker had left behind.
