Description

Rediscover a forgotten masterpiece of urban literature with City for Conquest (1936) by Aben Kandel. Part of the Lost Urban Classics series from Routledge, this novel offers a deep look at the complex patterns of New York life. Much like the famous visions of 1920s New York seen in works like The Great Gatsby, Kandel's writing captures a metropolis where ambition and defeat exist side by side. This panoramic novel served as the source for the classic 1940s James Cagney film. It brings to life a volatile city inhabited by a diverse range of characters, from the aristocrat to the criminal. Readers will experience a vivid depiction of a city filled with both dreams and nightmares. This edition is an essential addition for fans of classic literature and those interested in the historical social dynamics of New York City.
