I Too Walked the Streets of Manhattan
Text and photography: Eva Heyd
Illustration: Jan Trakal
Graphic editors: Martina Kupsová, Klára Zahrádková
Published by Kant

About the city that never sleeps. But it hasn’t always been like that…

Accept our invitation to take a trip against the current of time, along the coordinates of a place once called Mannahatta. Its paths are interwoven with stories of people who, with their zeal, energy and abilities, shaped its form, atmosphere and uniqueness.

Facts and curiosities about the origin of the metropolis, which became the flagship of emerging uncompromising capitalism, offer a number of impulses to ponder the values of our lives and society.

Thanks to its unique illustrations, the book is not only a guide for readers who are traveling to New York, but also an inspiring and visual experience for those who will enjoy visiting historical figures and places only in their minds.

The talk will take place at Leica Gallery Prague on Monday, 29 November 2021 at 6 pm. Free entry, seat reservation necessary at post@lgp.cz
