Publisher Description
In The Devil in the White City, the smoke, romance, and mystery of the Gilded Age come alive as never before.
Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized America’s rush toward the twentieth century. The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fair’s brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the country’s most important structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his “World’s Fair Hotel” just west of the fairgrounds—a torture palace complete with dissection table, gas chamber, and 3,000-degree crematorium.
Burnham overcame tremendous obstacles and tragedies as he organized the talents of Frederick Law Olmsted, Charles McKim, Louis Sullivan, and others to transform swampy Jackson Park into the White City, while Holmes used the attraction of the great fair and his own satanic charms to lure scores of young women to their deaths. What makes the story all the more chilling is that Holmes really lived, walking the grounds of that dream city by the lake.
The Devil in the White City draws the reader into a time of magic and majesty, made all the more appealing by a supporting cast of real-life characters, including Buffalo Bill, Theodore Dreiser, Susan B. Anthony, Thomas Edison, Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and others. Erik Larson’s gifts as a storyteller are magnificently displayed in this rich narrative of the master builder, the killer, and the great fair that obsessed them both.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Devil In The White City Ibooks Download Torrent Kat Free
The most remarkable (and shocking) thing about Erik Larson’s detailed account of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair is that it’s all true. Larson takes us on a time-machine trip to the Gilded Age in the U.S., mapping out the prevailing national mood and fascinating historical milestones. The Devil in the White City opened our eyes to cool facts; we'd already known that this World’s Fair introduced the Ferris wheel but were surprised to learn that it also marked the debut of the zipper and a U.S. map made entirely of pickles. Ultimately, though, the book is a spine-tingling crime thriller, which explains why it captured the attention of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, who are adapting it into a movie.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Not long after Jack the Ripper haunted the ill-lit streets of 1888 London, H.H. Holmes (born Herman Webster Mudgett) dispatched somewhere between 27 and 200 people, mostly single young women, in the churning new metropolis of Chicago; many of the murders occurred during (and exploited) the city's finest moment, the World's Fair of 1893. Larson's breathtaking new history is a novelistic yet wholly factual account of the fair and the mass murderer who lurked within it. Bestselling author Larson (Isaac's Storm) strikes a fine balance between the planning and execution of the vast fair and Holmes's relentless, ghastly activities. The passages about Holmes are compelling and aptly claustrophobic; readers will be glad for the frequent escapes to the relative sanity of Holmes's co-star, architect and fair overseer Daniel Hudson Burnham, who managed the thousands of workers and engineers who pulled the sprawling fair together 0n an astonishingly tight two-year schedule. A natural charlatan, Holmes exploited the inability of authorities to coordinate, creating a small commercial empire entirely on unpaid debts and constructing a personal cadaver-disposal system. This is, in effect, the nonfiction Alienist, or a sort of companion, which might be called Homicide, to Emile Durkheim's Suicide. However, rather than anomie, Larson is most interested in industriousness and the new opportunities for mayhem afforded by the advent of widespread public anonymity. This book is everything popular history should be, meticulously recreating a rich, pre-automobile America on the cusp of modernity, in which the sale of 'articulated' corpses was a semi-respectable trade and serial killers could go well-nigh unnoticed. 6 b&w photos, 1 map.
A very thorough trip through old Chicago
The writer put a large amount of work in to this book, and it really shows. Although I was hoping for more on Holmes (at least a fifty fifty split between him and the Worlds fair) I was not disappointed and learned quite a lot about the Worlds fair and the architects who made it happen.
For a book about a man who we know almost nothing about, I agree with the writer's decisions when assuming what actions Holmes took in certain situations.
Overall a very good read, a bit slow, but worth it.
Engrossing book start finish!
Read this book while traveling - couldnt put it down. It's an entertaining blend of history, drama and psychology - historical non-fiction at it's best!

I thought this book was bogged down with way too many details. I loved reading about the World's Fair but did not need to know everything ( and I mean everything) about it. I didn't feel the need to know menus from dinners and suffer through debates about which plants to put on the fairgrounds. It got tedious at times and I just had to put it down. I skipped long sections of this book and still got the whole story. The murder aspect of the book was fascinating and I really wanted more of that. This book could have been cut in half in my opinion.
