Description
by Gregor Hens (Author), Jen Calleja (Translator)
Threading memoir and personal reflections with travelogue, philosophy, photography and references from a wide variety of writers and thinkers, The City and the World is a captivating, illuminating and expansive journey into the heart of the modern city.
In The City and the World Gregor Hens considers the phenomenon of the contemporary city and our place within it. Hens travels the world - from Berlin to Las Vegas to Shenzen, from Cologne to Santiago de Chile to Paris - reading, walking and swimming, asking how we perceive the city and how it may perceive us.
