Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hotel Savoy: Illustrated; Fifty-Ninth Street and Fifth Avenue, New York City Hat America leads the world in the size and splendor of her hotels is the universal opinion of travelers. In Europe the hotels are not such national institutions as those of America. The only foreign rivals of the later American hotels are the palaces of princes and the historic dwellings of the aristocracy, but not many of these can show anything in the art of house embellishment superior to the display of luxury exhibited in these American palaces.

Download or read book New York Naked Classic Reprint written by George G. Foster and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-11 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New York Naked Divested, therefore, of every idea but a most practical resolution to leave behind me a not unworthy record of my humble passage through this world, I have contemplated, and am about to execute the present work. Nor do I fear the censure of the world for this preliminary egotism, in which I have lifted the curtain from my own heart, and laid bare the chances and changes which time has wrought upon my nature. Some such explanation for the total estrangement that I now endure from all that has seemed to make life tolerable, or for me desirable, was necessary to myself. The vanity of the poet, the enthusiast, the ideal dreamer, would not suffer that I should thus irrevocably pass into another and so much lower form of literary existence, without this one apology and protest in behalf of those lofty aspirations which overleaped the stars, and described a career among the constellations. And now I believe I am ready to go on with the real and practical purpose of this book. It may be possible, that in the course of the ensuing pages, the reader will now and then detect forms of thought, or statements of facts, which he has encountered before from my pen. Considering the great amount I have written at various times, and in various shapes, but always fragmentarily, and to subserve the mere exigencies of the moment, upon life m New York, such reminiscences are, probably, unavoidable. However, I am confident that no positive repetitions will be found, as I have not referred, for many months, to a page or line that I have ever written before; and, for the purpose of the composition of this work, I have renewed from the beginning my personal acquaintance with the facts and circumstances of the various classes of life in New York, and have written exclusively from my more recent observations.

Book excerpt: Grace Coddington, at age 70, has been the Creative Director of Vogue magazine for the past 20 years. Her candour, her irascibility, her commitment to her work, and her always fresh and original take on fashion has made her, after Anna Wintour, the most powerful person in fashion. Acquired after an intense auction among every major publisher, this woman who became an unwilling celebrity captured the hearts of everyone when she was revealed in the movie as the creative force behind the throne at Vogue. Having grown up on a backwater island in Wales, she came to London just in time to be discovered as a dazzling model by the famous Norman Parkinson, then went on to shape the pages at Vogue for 19 years where she worked as Creative Director with many luminaries including the young Wintour. Lured by Calvin Klein to run his New York operation she then jumped back to American Vogue when Wintour returned to America in 2003. She has been there ever since.

Recently heartbroken—and just plain broke—Jules is taken in by the splendor and accepts the terms, ready to leave her past life behind. As she gets to know the occupants and staff, Jules is drawn to fellow apartment sitter Ingrid, who reminds her so much of the sister she lost eight years ago.

Searching for the truth, Jules digs deeper into the Bartholomew’s sordid past. But by uncovering the secrets within its walls, Jules exposes herself to untold terrors. Because once you’re in, the Bartholomew doesn’t want you to leave....

[Katherine Boo] shows us how people in the most desperate circumstances can find the resilience to hang on to their humanity.

As India starts to prosper, the residents of Annawadi are electric with hope. Abdul, an enterprising teenager, sees “a fortune beyond counting” in the recyclable garbage that richer people throw away. Meanwhile Asha, a woman of formidable ambition, has identified a shadier route to the middle class. With a little luck, her beautiful daughter, Annawadi’s “most-everything girl,” might become its first female college graduate. And even the poorest children, like the young thief Kalu, feel themselves inching closer to their dreams. But then Abdul is falsely accused in a shocking tragedy; terror and global recession rock the city; and suppressed tensions over religion, caste, sex, power, and economic envy turn brutal. With intelligence, humor, and deep insight into what connects people to one another in an era of tumultuous change, Behind the Beautiful Forevers, based on years of uncompromising reporting, carries the reader headlong into one of the twenty-first century’s hidden worlds—and into the hearts of families impossible to forget.
