New Cosmopolis, A Book Of Images is a collection of essays by James Huneker that explores various cities and their cultures. The book is divided into two parts: the first part focuses on New York City, while the second part covers European cities such as Vienna, Prague, and Dublin. Huneker provides vivid descriptions of the cities, their architecture, and the people who inhabit them. He also delves into the cultural and artistic scenes of each city, discussing their music, literature, and art. The first part of the book, Intimate New York, provides an in-depth look at the city’s neighborhoods, such as Greenwich Village and Chinatown. Huneker also writes about the city’s theaters, restaurants, and nightlife. The second part of the book covers European cities before World War I. Huneker writes about Vienna’s coffeehouses and its famous artists and writers, such as Gustav Klimt and Arthur Schnitzler. He also discusses Prague’s Gothic architecture and its famous Jewish quarter. In addition to the European cities, Huneker also writes about Little Holland, Belgian etchings, Madrid, Atlantic City, and Newport. Throughout the book, he provides a unique and insightful perspective on each city, making it a fascinating read for anyone interested in travel, culture, and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
