Więcej o książce
"This little volume is a valuable contribution to the lore that accumulates about every great city in the world--part social history, part myth, and part love song. Manila might be sinking under the weight of problems proclaimed every day by newspaper columnists and TV commentators. It might be plagued by calamaties, both natural and manmade. Its historical monuments might be wrecked by unthinking politicianss' its walls and bridges defaced by ugly posters and graffiti; its hapless pedestrians killed by reckless drivers and ineptly constructed billboards. It will survive nonethelss, because people like the writers of this book will not give up on it. These Manilenas will stand their ground. Here is their testament to the city of their affections."From the forward by Cristina Pantoja Hidalgoaward-winning authorFeaturing the essays of Lolita Delgado FanslerGizela Madrigal GonzalezLaling H.
