Century. Very Good. 232mm / 154mm. Paperback. 2009. 1020 pages. <br>Edward Rutherfurd tells the story of this great c ity as no other author could - from the epic, empty grandeur of t he New World to the skyscrapers of the City that Never Sleeps, fr om the intimate detail of lives long forgotten to those lived tod ay at breakneck speed. The novel begins with a tiny Indian fish ing village and the Dutch traders who first carved out their hope s amidst the splendour of the wilderness. The British settlers an d merchants followed, with their aristocratic governors and unpop ular taxation which led to rebellion, war, the burning of the cit y and the birth of the American Nation. Yet a country that had al ready rent itself asunder once did so again over slavery. As the country fought its bloody Civil War, the city was torn apart by d eadly riots. Hopes and dreams, greed and corruption - they have always been the companions of freedom and opportunity in the cit y's teeming streets. As the immigrant ships berthed next to Ellis Island in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, they poured more and more Germans, Irish, Italians and Jews into the churning ethn ic mix of the city. Deals were struck, politicians corrupted, men bought or assassinated, heiresses wooed, fortunes were speculate d on Wall Street and men became rich beyond the dreams of avarice . The heady seesaw of wealth and poverty was seen in the Roaring Twenties and the Great Crash, the city's future symbolised by its buildings which literally touched the sky: the Empire State, the Chrysler Building, the Twin Towers. Rutherfurd tells this irre sistible story through a cast of fictional and true characters wh ose fates interweave in the rise and fall, fall and rise of the c ity's fortunes. It is the story of how in four centuries New York became the envy of the world. And in telling the story through t he lens of New York, Rutherfurd brings the story of America itsel f to unforgettable life in this epic masterpiece. ., Century, 2009, 3<
