About this product

Product Information

Amsterdam is not just any city. Despite its relative size it has stood alongside its larger cousins - Paris, London, Berlin - and has influenced the modern world to a degree that few other cities have. Sweeping across the city's colourful thousand year history, Amsterdam will bring the place to life: its sights and smells; its politics and people. Concentrating on two significant periods - the late 1500s to the mid 1600s and then from the Second World War to the present, Russell Shorto's masterful biography looks at Amsterdam's central preoccupations. Just as fin-de-siecle Vienna was the birthplace of psychoanalysis, seventeenth century Amsterdam was the wellspring of liberalism, and today it is still a city that takes individual freedom very seriously. A wonderfully evocative book that takes Amsterdam's dramatic past and present and populates it with a whole host of colourful characters, Amsterdam is the definitive book on this great city.

    An excellent eBay seller. Great communication. They worked with me to ensure a great experience. The book I bought was all better than described, packed very well and securely, and shipped fast. The asked amount was a very fair market value. I would highly recomment this seller, and would not hesitate to order from them again. Thank you!

    Item arrived in perfect condition, well packaged and sealed up brand new. Amazing price compared to everywhere else I had looked. After waiting a few days for delivery info, the item arrived on the first day of the week they specified. This turned out to be a top quality item and a fantastic purchase, can only thank this seller for an outstanding experience and the opportunity to grab something I was struggling to find anywhere else and especially at the price they offered it. Cheers!

  • Great book

    About to head to Amsterdam for the weekend and wanted to read up on the place before I did so. This book is well worth a read before you go. Has made me look at Amsterdam in a whole new light.

    It’s excellent but basic. It opens up whole new chapters of the city.
