Synopsis:
Excerpt from On the Sidewalk
These little stories are mainly the simple record of people and incidents I have seen in my morning walks across the business section of one of our great cities. He who traverses the city streets with eyes on the pavement below or the sky above or anywhere else but on the people he meets, misses many a sight worth seeing, and fails to get acquainted with many a rare character. He is walking through an art gallery, crowded with living pictures. If he will only look at them 'he will see rare and splendid canvasses.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, consisting of essays traversing an author's daily morning walks and observations, adapts an uncommon perspective of city life. Steering clear from preoccupation with grand monuments or stately buildings, the author instead takes particular notice of the inhabitants, famous and ordinary alike, who define the vibrant urban landscape. Often, his thoughtful reflections on the human condition commence from simply examining a face in the crowd. The author explores metaphysical subjects such as determination, exhaustion, euphoria, dignity, and the interconnectedness of individuals through the countless fleeting interactions that shape their day-to-day existences. Through these vivid portrayals, a portrait emerges of the wide spectrum of human experiences, hopes, dreams, and frustrations, revealing the substantial impact a stranger's tale can have on one's own outlook. This book is, above all else, a testament to the idea that humanity in all its perplexing beauty surrounds us every day if we only take the time to truly see it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331414476_0
