Broadway

From Bowling Green all the way to Marble Hill, Fran Leadon takes us on a mile-by-mile journey up America’s most vibrant and complex thoroughfare, through the history at the heart of Manhattan. Broadway traces the physical and social transformation of an avenue that has been both the “Path of Progress” and a “street of broken dreams,” home to both parades and riots, startling wealth and appalling destitution. Glamorous, complex, and sometimes troubling, the evolution of an oft-flooded dead end to a canyon of steel and glass is the story of American progress.

De la Bowling Green pana la Marble Hill, Fran Leadon ne duce intr-o calatorie de mile cu mile pana pe cea mai vibranta si complexa arta americana, prin istoria din inima Manhattanului. Broadway urmareste transformarea fizica si sociala a unui bulevard care a fost atat „Calea Progresului”, cat si o „strada a viselor sparte”, gazduind atat defilari, cat si revolte, bogatie uimitoare si o destramare ingrozitoare.
