Luc Sante low-life portrait of America's greatest city, exuberant and modern anarchist spawning. This is not a familiar saga mansions, prospectuses and robber barons, but dirty, turbulent, often deadly history of the slums of the city; in the teeming streets - the scene of countless cons and crimes whose cramped and overcrowded housing is still a feature of the urban landscape.

Low Life floats through Manhattan from four different directions. Part one explores the real topography of Manhattan from 1840 until 1919; Part two, the era of opportunity for vice and entertainment - theaters and saloons, opium and cocaine dens, gambling and prostitution; Part three explores the forces of law and order, which he did, and worked to keep iniquities; The fourth part of the city contrasts tides of rebellion and idealism against the city, as it was in reality.

Low Life provides arresting and entertaining the notion that New York was really like in his salad days. But it is more than a book about Simpy New York. This is one of the most provocative books about urban life ever written - the resurrection of the mythology of the quintessence of the modern metropolis, which has much to say not only about the past, in New York, but the present and future of all cities.
