A pilot's love letter to the world's greatest cities from the
Sunday Times bestselling author of Skyfaring 'A journey around both
the author's mind and the planet's great cities that leaves us
energised, open to new experiences and ready to return more
hopefully to our lives' ALAIN DE BOTTON Growing up in his small
hometown, Mark Vanhoenacker spun the illuminated globe in his
bedroom and dreamt of elsewhere - of distant, real cities, and a
perfect metropolis that existed only in his imagination. Now, as a
commercial airline pilot, Mark has spent more than two decades
crossing the skies of our planet and touching down in the cities
he'd always longed to see. Imagine a City celebrates the
metropolises he has come to know and love through the lens of the
hometown his heart has never left. From the sweeping roads of Los
Angeles and the old gates of Jeddah to the intricate,
dream-inspired plan of Brasília, he shows us with warmth and fresh
eyes the extraordinary places that billions of us call home.
'Vanhoenacker... has a near-bottomless appetite for fresh sights
and guidebook curiosities... Intimate and thoughtful' PICO IYER,
AIR MAIL 'A love letter to the cities he's returned to again and
again... Vanhoenacker captivates when describing the silent beauty
of a world glimpsed from above' Washington Post 'Eloquent... A love
song to cities the world over' Wall Street Journal
