Land of Smoke and Mirrors: A Cultural History of Los Angeles
ISBN: 9780813554570 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 301 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Unlike the more forthrightly mythic origins of other urban centers--think Rome via Romulus and Remus or Mexico City via the god Huitzilopochtli--Los Angeles emerged from a smoke-and-mirrors process that is simultaneously literal and figurative, real and imagined, material and metaphorical, physical and textual.

Divided into sections that probe Los Angeles's checkered history and reflect on Hollywood's own...
