City of the Century: The Epic of Chicago and the Making of America Chicago, the windy city, has been the epicenter of modern America's growth and development since its humble beginnings as a desolate fur-trading post in the 1830s. In his powerful narrative, Donald Miller captures the essence of Chicago's transformation into one of the world's most vibrant cities by 1900, witnessing its wild beginnings, reckless growth, natural calamities such as the Great Fire of 1871, raucous politics, empire-building businessmen, world-transforming architecture, rich cultural mix, and staggering engineering projects like reversing the Chicago River and raising the entire city from prairie mud to save it from devastating cholera epidemics. The saga of Chicago's unresolved struggle between order and freedom, growth, and control, capitalism, and community remains instructive for our time as we seek ways to build and maintain cities that retain their humanity without losing their energy.
City of the Century: The Epic of Chicago and the Making of America Чикаго, ветреный город, был эпицентром роста и развития современной Америки с момента ее скромного зарождения в качестве пустынной пушной фактории в 1830-х годах. В своем мощном повествовании Дональд Миллер отражает суть превращения Чикаго в один из самых ярких городов мира к 1900 году, свидетельствуя о его диких началах, безрассудном росте, природных бедствиях, таких как Великий пожар 1871 года, шумная политика, бизнесмены, строящие империи, преобразующая мир архитектура, богатая культурная смесь и ошеломляющие инженерные проекты, такие как обращение вспять реки Чикаго и поднятие всего города из грязи прерий, чтобы спасти его от разрушительных эпидемий холеры. Сага о неразрешенной борьбе Чикаго между порядком и свободой, ростом и контролем, капитализмом и сообществом остается поучительной для нашего времени, поскольку мы ищем способы строительства и поддержания городов, которые сохраняют свою человечность, не теряя при этом свою энергию.
City of the Century : The Epic of Chicago and the Making of America Chicago, ville venteuse, a été l'épicentre de la croissance et du développement de l'Amérique moderne depuis sa modeste naissance en tant que facteur de fourrure désertique dans les années 1830. Dans sa narration puissante, Donald Miller reflète l'essence de la transformation de Chicago en l'une des villes les plus brillantes du monde en 1900, témoignant de ses origines sauvages, de sa croissance imprudente, de catastrophes naturelles comme le Grand Incendie de 1871, des politiciens bruyants, des hommes d'affaires qui construisent des empires, une architecture transformatrice du monde, un riche mélange culturel et des projets d'ingénierie étonnants, comme inverser la rivière Chicago et soulever toute la ville de la boue des Prairies pour la sauver des épidémies dévastatrices de choléra. La saga de la lutte non résolue de Chicago entre l'ordre et la liberté, la croissance et le contrôle, le capitalisme et la communauté reste instructive pour notre époque, alors que nous cherchons des moyens de construire et de maintenir des villes qui conservent leur humanité sans perdre leur énergie.

City of the Century: The Epic of Chicago and the Making of America Chicago, città ventosa, è stato l'epicentro della crescita e dello sviluppo dell'America moderna sin dalla sua modesta nascita come fattoria del deserto nel 1830. Nella sua potente narrazione, Donald Miller riflette l'essenza della trasformazione di Chicago in una delle città più luminose del mondo entro il 1900. testimoniando i suoi inizi selvaggi, la crescita spericolata, i disastri naturali come il Grande Incendio del 1871, politica rumorosa, uomini d'affari che costruiscono imperi, architettura che trasforma il mondo, ricca miscela culturale e progetti ingegneristici sorprendenti. come invertire i fiumi di Chicago e sollevare l'intera città dal fango delle praterie per salvarla dalle devastanti epidemie di colera. La saga della lotta irrisolta di Chicago, tra ordine e libertà, crescita e controllo, capitalismo e comunità, resta una lezione per il nostro tempo, perché cerchiamo modi per costruire e mantenere le città che mantengono la propria umanità senza perdere energia.
Die Stadt des Jahrhunderts: Der Epische von Chicago und der Aufstieg Amerikas Chicago, die windige Stadt, ist seit ihren bescheidenen Anfängen als Wüstenfluchtfaktorei in den 1830er Jahren das Epizentrum des Wachstums und der Entwicklung des modernen Amerikas. In seiner kraftvollen Erzählung spiegelt Donald Miller die Essenz wider, Chicago bis 1900 zu einer der lebendigsten Städte der Welt zu machen. bezeugend seine wilden Anfänge, sein rücksichtsloses Wachstum, Naturkatastrophen wie der Große Brand von 1871, lärmende Politik, Geschäftsleute, die Imperien bauen, weltverändernde Architektur, eine reiche kulturelle Mischung und atemberaubende Ingenieurprojekte, wie die Umkehr des Chicago River und die Hebung der ganzen Stadt aus dem Schlamm der Prärie, um sie vor verheerenden Cholera-Epidemien zu retten. Die Saga von Chicagos ungelöstem Kampf zwischen Ordnung und Freiheit, Wachstum und Kontrolle, Kapitalismus und Gemeinschaft bleibt für unsere Zeit lehrreich, während wir nach Wegen suchen, Städte zu bauen und zu erhalten, die ihre Menschlichkeit bewahren, ohne ihre Energie zu verlieren.

Yüzyılın Şehri: Chicago Destanı ve rüzgarlı bir şehir olan Chicago, 1830'larda bir çöl kürkü ticaret merkezi olarak mütevazi başlangıcından bu yana modern Amerika'nın büyümesi ve gelişmesi için sıfır noktası olmuştur. Güçlü anlatısında Donald Miller, Chicago'nun 1900 yılına kadar dünyanın en parlak şehirlerinden biri haline gelmesinin özünü yakalar. Vahşi başlangıçlarına, pervasız büyümesine, 1871 Büyük Yangını gibi doğal afetlere tanıklık ederek, gürültülü siyaset, imparatorluklar kuran işadamları, dünyayı dönüştüren mimari, zengin kültürel karışım ve şaşırtıcı mühendislik projeleri, Chicago Nehri'ni tersine çevirmek ve yıkıcı kolera salgınlarından kurtarmak için tüm şehri çayır çamurundan çıkarmak gibi. Şikago'nun düzen ve özgürlük, büyüme ve kontrol, kapitalizm ve toplum arasındaki çözülmemiş mücadelesinin destanı, enerjilerini kaybetmeden insanlıklarını koruyan şehirler inşa etmenin ve sürdürmenin yollarını ararken, zamanımız için öğretici olmaya devam ediyor.
世紀之城:芝加哥史詩和美國制造芝加哥這座風吹起來的城市,自1830代作為沙漠皮草貿易站適度誕生以來,一直是現代美國增長和發展的中心。唐納德·米勒(Donald Miller)在其有力的敘述中反映了到1900使芝加哥成為世界上最引人註目的城市之一的精髓, 證明了它的野蠻開端,魯莽的增長,自然災害,例如1871的大火, 嘈雜的政治、商人建設帝國、改變世界的建築、豐富的文化融合和驚人的工程項目, 比如扭轉芝加哥河,把整個城市從草原的泥土中擡起,使它免於毀滅性的霍亂流行病。芝加哥在秩序與自由、增長與控制、資本主義和社區之間未解決的鬥爭的傳奇對我們的時代仍然很有啟發性,因為我們正在尋找建設和維持城市的方式,這些城市在不失去能量的情況下保持人性。
