Salley Vickers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMovement is the \u003ci\u003eraison d'etre\u003c\/i\u003e of New York. In \u003cb\u003eThe Great Port\u003c\/b\u003e, Jan Morris explores the waterfronts and thoroughfares of 1950's Manhattan just as she navigated the canals of Venice; she knows every bridge, every tunnel, every island of the whole archipelago. She depicts the city as a place of constant motion, which has been translated into a culture of inveterate restlessness. First published in 1957, \u003cb\u003eThe Great Port\u003c\/b\u003e is a vivid and entertaining portrait of a splendid old seaport whose purposes have gone awry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen \u003cb\u003eThe Great Port\u003c\/b\u003e appeared in New York, the \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e called it 'unique', the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e said it discovered more than most New Yorkers had ever learnt, and the\u003ci\u003e Publisher's Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e thought it perhaps the best book on New York since the classic work of E. B. White.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54258588221784,"sku":"9780571246656","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780571246656.jpg?v=1777704329","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/great-port","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
