Krátky popis
In the years following World War I, Los Angeles was a city
awakening to its darker side, transforming itself from a backwater
town to a gleaming metropolis and city of the future. But along the
way a tarnished patina began to coat its ever-more glamorous
façade. As thousands flocked to the city with their dreams and
desires, so too came get-rich-quick schemes, phony religions,
organized crime, and corruption. A visual history like no other,
Dark City brings together images from archives, museums, newspaper
photo morgues, private collections, and the author’s extensive
image library to reveal the true grit, grime, and sheer horror
stories of Los Angeles from the 1920s to 1950s. In large format, we
roam through the back alleys, gin joints, tattoo parlors, gambling
dens, nightclubs, and the most brutal crime scenes, to uncover a
city crawling with murder and mayhem. From Sunset Boulevard to a
jazz-saturated Central Avenue, tabloid headlines chronicle the most
famous celebrities and infamous crimes in a hopped-up city that
provided inspiration for journalists, pulp fiction scribes, and
filmland script writers in their creation of the noir genre. With
rare vintage magazine reprints from the crime tabloids of the time,
this is a uniquely evocative visual history through which the
crime, crooks, crazies, and mean streets of the City of Angels are
transformed from myth to reality.
