USADO / GEBRAUCHT / USED. Editado por primera vez en 1927 y objeto de encendidos elogios por parte de lectores tan preparados y agudos como Luc Sante o Jorge Luis Borges -quién tomó a uno de sus protagonistas (Monk Eastman) como base del célebre "proveedor de iniquidades" que protagonizó uno de los cuentos de la Historia universal de la infamia-, gangs de Nueva York se había convertido en un libro de culto que ofrecía a sus lectores sorprendentemente información de primera mano sobre algunos de los aspectos menos conocidos de la historia de Nueva York. El origen y nacimiento de las primeras bandas organizadas, los criminales más sanguinarios, los golpes más espectaculares, las vinculaciones con el poder político y económico de la ciudad, el carácter y psicología de los grandes delicuentes de los primeros años del siglo XX, la carrera y los métodos del ejército y de la policía de la época.todo aparece descripto aquí con una intensidad y colorido que ni la mejor de las novelas negras lo ha conseguido jamás. Una obra extraordinaria, sin término de comparación posible, que sirve de base a la película que con el mismo título ha rodado el pristigioso director Martín Scorsese. [Extracto del comentario de la sobrecubierta posterior] [Cuento policiaco]. ** 10% DESCUENTO/RABATT/DISCOUNT PRIMAVERA * 21,60 (reduced from 24,00) **.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - First published in 1928, Herbert Asbury's 'The Gangs of New York' is probably best remembered today as the source material for Martin Scorsese's 2002 film of the same name. According to the original publisher's announcement 'this is a history of New York's underworld, from its beginnings in revolutionary times down to its virtual end as an organized force for evil during the first decade of the present century.' 'The Gangs of New York' is all of this and much more, a rogues' gallery of arch criminals who spread terror in little old New York when the Bowery flourished. Chinatown was lurid with feuds, and Five Points was a place to avoid both by day and night. An important contribution to American criminology at the end of the 19th century, this volume contains vivid accounts of gang methods, the draft riots, the tong wars, the Bowery, Hell's Kitchen, Tammany Hall's relation to the gangs, and an amazing glossary of underworld slang. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
