There are many coffee table books dedicated to New York, but
certainly none like this one. With New York, the photography legend
Elliott Erwitt pays a monochromatic tribute to his hometown
metropolis, creating a photo book that can unquestionably be
classified as a work with historical significance. The native
Parisian immigrated to the USA in 1939 and settled in the Big Apple
in 1948.Since then, the camera has been his constant companion as
he wandered through the streets of the global city. In this revised
edition, Erwitt presents compelling black and white photographs
spanning his entire career. On 16 new pages, readers are given a
first-time glimpse into previously unreleased images from the 1950s
and 60s, allowing them to immerse themselves in a New York of days
long past.A touch of nostalgia is guaranteed. The photo book
perfectly reflects New York and its soul. Celebrities stand
alongside everyday New Yorkers, everyday moments shape contemporary
history in a cheerful and sometimes slightly quirky manner,
characteristic of Erwitt's work.It's no wonder he is considered one
of the best street photographers in the world. His images are not
only vivid and authentic, but are also characterised by a special
irony derived from the everyday situations they originate from.
This photo book is enjoyable to look at time and time again, always
offering fresh surprises.New York is the perfect book for those who
can't get enough of this impressive megacity. Even die-hard fans of
the metropolis will discover previously undiscovered facets of the
city here. For all admirers of Elliott Erwitt's photographic art,
this photo book is a must-have for their home collection.Text in

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
