I Too Walked the Streets of Manhattan
New York – the city that never sleeps. It hadn’t always been the case though.
Take a trip back in time to a place once called Mannahatta. The path is interwoven with the life stories of people who, with their zeal, energy and abilities, shaped its appearance, atmosphere and originality.
Facts and curiosities about the origin of the metropolis which has become the flagship of emerging uncompromising capitalism, offer a number of impulses to think about the values of our lives and society.
Thanks to its unique illustrations, the book is also not only a guide for readers who are going to New York, but also an inspiring and visual experience for those who will enjoy a journey through the fates of historical figures and places only in their minds.
