Cities is a book written by Arthur Symons in 1903 that examines the essence of cities and their influence on the human experience. The book is divided into twelve chapters, each dedicated to a different city, including Paris, London, Venice, and New York. Symons explores the unique characteristics of each city, from their architecture and geography to their cultural and historical significance. He also delves into the emotions and sensations that cities evoke in their inhabitants, such as the feeling of being lost in a crowd or the sense of wonder at the grandeur of a cityscape.Throughout the book, Symons employs vivid language and poetic imagery to capture the essence of each city and convey his own personal experiences and reflections. He also draws on the works of other writers and artists who have been inspired by these cities, including Charles Baudelaire, Edgar Allan Poe, and James McNeill Whistler.Overall, Cities is a beautifully written and insightful exploration of the complex relationship between humans and the cities they inhabit. It is a must-read for anyone interested in urbanism, architecture, or the human experience in general.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
