"Manhattan Transfer" by John Dos Passos is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the lives of various characters in New York City during a time of significant change and upheaval, providing a vivid tapestry of urban life. The main characters include Bud Korpenning and Ed Thatcher, who are depicted as they navigate their individual journeys amidst the bustling, often overwhelming, landscape of the city. At the start of the novel, the scene is set with rich descriptions of a ferry arriving in New York, alongside depictions of everyday life in the city. Bud Korpenning is introduced as a weary traveler seeking a fresh start in the city, while Ed Thatcher is portrayed eagerly anticipating the birth of his first child. As these characters encounter various figures—like a violinist on the ferry and hospital staff—the reader is drawn into their personal struggles and aspirations, highlighting themes of ambition, the hustle of city life, and the interconnectedness of urban dwellers. The opening establishes a sense of place and mood that foreshadows the complex social dynamics and individual pursuits explored throughout the novel. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
