內容簡介

“Part lively social history, part architectural survey, here is the story of Broadway―from 17th-century cow path to Great White Way.”―Geoff Wisner, Wall Street Journal

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.

“一部分生動的社會歷史，一部分建築調查，這是百老匯的故事-從17世紀的奶牛道到大白道。”-《華爾街日報》的傑夫·威斯納

從鮑林格林（Bowling Green）一直到大理石山（Marble Hill），弗蘭·利頓（Fran Leadon）帶領我們一步步走過曼哈頓最繁華的歷史，穿越美國最活躍，最複雜的通道。百老匯追溯了一條既是“進步之路”又是“破碎的夢想之路”的大道的物質和社會變革，這是遊行和騷亂，令人震驚的財富和令人震驚的貧困的所在地。從充斥着死衚衕的死衚衕演變成鋼鐵和玻璃峽谷的過程令人着迷，複雜，有時令人不安，這是美國進步的故事。
