Description
Brandon Stanton's Humans is a book that connects readers as global citizens at a time when erecting more borders is the order of the day. It shows us the entire world, one story at a time.
Humans—his most moving and compelling book to date—shows us the world. After five years of travelling the globe, the creator of Humans of New York brings people from all parts of the world into a conversation with readers. He ignores borders, chronicles lives, and shows us the faces of the world as he saw them. His travels took him from London, Paris, and Rome to Iraq, Dubai, Ukraine, Pakistan, Jordan, Uganda, Vietnam, Israel, and every other place in between. His interviews go deeper than before, illustrating the experience of a writer who has travelled widely and thought deeply about the state of our world.
Including hundreds of photos and stories of the people he met and talked with in over forty countries, Humans is classic Brandon Stanton—a fully colour illustrated book that includes many photos and stories never seen before. For the first time for a HONY title, Humans will contain several of the essays Brandon has posted online which have been read, loved, and enthusiastically shared by his followers.
