Download or read book The Mysteries of New York written by Alfred Trumble and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mysteries of New York: A Sequel to "Glimpses of Gotham," and "New York by Day and Night" It is because they are, after all, but romances, and the popular taste for fiction changes, shouldering the best of old favorites into the corner in favor of far less meritorious novelties whose charm of new ness atones for their shortcomings. The scenes these supplanted vet erans describe belong to the past. The present generation recognizes no resemblance between them and the life that goes on about it. They lack fact enough to become history, and their romance is faded, dim and dull to a people which has outgrown the surroundings in which that romance was placed. But with our Mysteries of New York it is a vastly different ease. The scenes we depict are being enacted about us every day, for we write of the great metropolis of the present, of the third greatest city in the world as it is in the year of grace 1881. It is the real life of this tremendous gathering of men, this treasure-house of wealth and asylum of poverty, this abode of Virtue and haunt of crime, which we portray with pen and pencil. It is its ins and outs, bright scenes and sombre mysteries which artist and author combine to give an endur ing place in literature. No romance here but that of fact, which has truly been said to be more startling than any fiction which fascinates as no production of the novelist's fancy can, because we know it to be true, and which we remember long after the creations of genius, the fanciful children of the most brilliant inventions, are forgotten.

In it, we shall try to show you our city - to us the most fascinating in the world. We love its sky scrapers and its tenements, its high finance and its subways, its fitful strivings after the good and the beautiful. The Great White Way and the little side streets, the polyglot speech of new peoples that throng our streets; Splendor, squalor, commercial ism, humanity, these are all New York. And if in showing you our city, we can't help seeing electricity as the motive power of it all, you must pardon us; we are personally prejudiced.

Download or read book Glimpses of Gotham and City Characters Classic Reprint written by Samuel Anderson Mackeever and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-01-07 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses of Gotham and City Characters Gavarni and Dickens did with pencil and pen for the two great cities of the Old World, he performed for the metropolis of the New. His works constitute a gallery of word pictures which paint New York as it had never been painted before. Beaming with light, sombre with shadow, merry in the May sunshine, shud dering in the February sleet, the varying phases of its teeming life, waking and sleeping, fair and foul, from cellar to garret, from boudoir to brothel, move by in a panorama vivid in local color, strong and symmetrie cal in form, instinct with the vitality which grows only under the artist hand. Few nooks and crannies of either the town or the ways and doings of its people, escaped the busy chronicler. During the past three years his department in the national police gazette and the third column of the front page of the Evening Telegram became the medium through which the general public found daily and weekly introduction to itself. That they did not object to the way in which the master of ceremonies performed his work, the popularity of the sketches proved. It was not, however, till death rang down the curtain, that the world at large knew anything of the man whose pen had procured them so many pleasant hours, and even then it was only through brief and necessarily more or less incorrect obituaries in the daily press. In consideration of this fact, nothing could be more appropriate as an introduction to this little volume than the story of its creator's life.

Download or read book The Glimpses of the Moon written by Edith Wharton and published by Union Square & Co.. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Susy Branch and Nick Lansing are typical Wharton heroes: popular, attractive, and much poorer than their “international set” friends. Like Lily Bart in The House of Mirth, the two depend on the largesse of more privileged acquaintances to get by. Recognizing in each other a desire for the finer things in life, they decide to get married and, knowing that their friends will happily provide fabulous accommodations, live rent-free on an extended honeymoon until either one of them finds a better match—at which point they will amicably divorce and sail off into their separate, wealthier sunsets. But a romantic tour of Europe can confuse even the most mercenary hearts. And when a friend asks for a favor in exchange for the use of her palazzo, Susy and Nick realize that everything in this sophisticated world comes at a price: one that their hearts and consciences may no longer allow them to pay. . .
