Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Bogota stretches across a high Andean savanna beneath the eastern hills, a city of brick, rain, ambition and restless public life. Its streets carry Muisca memory, colonial authority, republican aspiration, migration and the unfinished work of becoming a more equal capital. A Little Book of Bogota enters the Colombian capital through forty concise, researched reflections. Walk from Plaza de Bolivar and La Candelaria to Monserrate, Chapinero and Paloquemao; follow buried streams, the Septima, TransMilenio and Sunday Ciclovia; and encounter chicha, ajiaco, tejo, emeralds, salsa, street art and libraries. Along the way, the book considers conquest, independence, the Bogotazo, displacement, public protest, red-brick architecture, the Bogota River and the distant paramo that supplies the city's water. Written for travellers, readers and lovers of layered cities, this is not a conventional guidebook but an intimate literary portrait of Bogota a capital that keeps remaking itself without ever escaping the histories beneath its streets. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
