When the Astors Owned New York: Blue Bloods and Grand Hotels in a Gilded Age (ISBN=9780452288584) fb2 免费 lrf 下载 kindle azw3 pdf 阿里云

　　In this marvelous anecdotal history, Justin Kaplan—Pulitzer

Prize–winning biographer of Mark Twain—vividly brings to life a

glittering, bygone age.

Endowed with the largest private fortunes of their day, cousins

John Jacob Astor IV and William Waldorf Astor vied for primacy in

New York society, producing the grandest hotels ever seen in a

marriage of ostentation and efficiency that transformed American

social behavior.

Kaplan exposes it all in exquisite detail, taking readers from

the 1890s to the Roaring Twenties in a combination of biography,

history, architectural appreciation, and pure reading pleasure.
