Wild Greens
ISBN: 9781888996586 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It is a difficult thing to write simply and eloquently with quiet and intense passion in ways that are unflinchingly personal but also fold the reader into the depths of history and myth.

On The New Cosmopolitan is an exploration of cosmopolitanism and its 21st-century manifestation in Dubai. “What do I see? Neon contours of a building at night. A near-empty walkway with a flashing monitor that reads: “Dubai Digital Park”; in the morning I see a concrete expanse of flat apartment rooftops amidst a humid, sand-infused horizon, the steaming heat of the desert temperature in August. Plasma screens along a walkway show various scenes of people eating, exercising, shopping, the only people I see. I am in an area called Silicon Oasis. Dubai, a city where 70% of the world is...
