New York is one of the most exciting and complex cities in the world. A symbol of the American dream and freedom. The life of this city is narrated by Edward Rutherfurd's large-scale novel spanning three and a half centuries. The story traces the struggles and rise of New York from its founding to the devastating tragedy of September 11, 2001. The former modest fishing village is developing before our eyes into a metropolis that surpasses all imagination, home to millions of people. Among them, the Master family stands out, who, since the settlement of the Puritan ancestors, have tried to stay afloat in the storms caused by the wars of independence, financial crises and gang wars. The divergent fates and diverse struggles of successive generations come together in an impressively detailed tableau worthy of the diversity and vibrancy that has always made New York unique.
