内容説明
Lewis Mumford (1895-1990) is best known for his "Sky Line" column in the "New Yorker" where he served as architecture critic for over 30 years. A man of letters and part of Manhattan's intellectual elite, Mumford wrote more than 20 books over 6 decades, bridging the seemingly disparate disciplines of architecture, technology, literary criticism, biography, sociology and philosophy. This text collects over 50 of Mumford's writings that were originally published in the "New Yorker" between 1931 and 1940. The essays focus mainly on the New York metropolitan area. They cover all aspects of New York's architecture, including museums, theatres, tenements, parks and recreational areas, and range from a short musing on a midtown luncheonette to an extended series on Rockefeller Center.
