New York is a city whose DNA comes from all over the world, a fantastic and unique place belonging to America but not completely American. Such a strong cultural personality deserves a book and the publisher presents this grandiose new title as “a small tribute to the New York I love”. Travel through the most important periods of this great city and in all its neighborhoods, from Manhattan and Brooklyn to the Bronx and Queens to Staten Island with insights into its history and the development of its world-famous skyline. Discover stories from early 20th-century immigration to Prohibition in the 1920s to the youth revolution of the 1960s. Reminisce about the best moments of Broadway and the discos of Studio 54. Dream with F. Scott Fitzgerald, Truman Capote and Audrey Hepburn or Madonna and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

This volume reveals New York through the expert eyes and iconic images of great photographers, from Edward Steichen to Peter Lindbergh, as well as texts and quotes from renowned writers, including E.B. White, Edith Wharton, Tom Wolfe and Jay McInerney. With a specially designed box and typography, New York by New York is a book that will delight lovers of this great city for decades to come.
