Now a #1 New York Times Bestseller In the summer of 2010, photographer Brandon Stanton began an ambitious project -to single-handedly create a photographic census of New York City. The photos he took and the accompanying interviews became the blog Humans of New York. His audience steadily grew from a few hundred followers to, at present count, over eighteen million. In 2013, his book Humans of New York, based on that blog, was published and immediately catapulted to the top of the NY Times Bestseller List where it has appeared for over forty-five weeks. Now, Brandon is back with the Humans of New York book that his loyal followers have been waiting for: Humans of New York: Stories. Ever since Brandon began interviewing people on the streets of New York, the dialogue he's had with them has increasingly become as in-depth, intriguing and moving as the photos themselves. Humans of New York: Stories presents a whole new group of people in stunning photographs, with a rich design and, most importantly, longer stories that delve deeper and surprise with greater candor.

1970s New York City: Go-go dancers, The Peppermint Lounge, gangsters, Billy’s Topless, and Stephanie Johnson…In 2019, Humans of New York featured a photo of a woman in an outrageous fur coat and hat she made herself. She instantly captured the attention of millions. Her name is Stephanie Johnson, but she’s better known to HONY followers as “Tanqueray,” the indefatigable woman who was once one of the best-known burlesque dancers in New York City. Brandon Stanton chronicled her life in the longest series he had yet posted on HONY, but, now, Stephanie Johnson—a woman as fabulous, unbowed, and irresistible as the city she lives in—tells all in Tanqueray, a book filled with never-before-told stories, personal photos from her own collection, and glimpses of New York City back in the day when the name “Tanqueray” was on everyone’s lips.

"Little Humans" is a charming photographic picture book capturing the spirit of New York's children. Through exclusive and beloved photos, it showcases their resilience, fashion sense, and heartfelt love, making it a delightful read for fans of "Humans of New York" and newcomers alike.

Im Sommer 2010 startete der Fotograf Brandon Stanton sein ambitioniertes Projekt: ein fotografisches Porträt von New York City. Bewaffnet mit seiner Kamera durchstreifte er die Stadt, um die echten New Yorker und ihre Geschichten einzufangen. Das Ergebnis war sein außergewöhnlicher Blog „Humans of New York“, in dem er seine faszinierenden Fotos zeigte und mit Zitaten und Anekdoten versah. Die Zahl seiner Follower wuchs schnell auf über drei Millionen. Das Buch zeigt 400 berührende Fotos, darunter exklusive Schnappschüsse und viele neue Geschichten: Die Menschen sind so unterschiedlich, wie man es von New York erwartet. Ein ehemaliger Flüchtling aus Kroatien, der nachts als Gebäudereiniger arbeitet, tagsüber studiert und nach zwölf Jahren seinen Abschluss in klassischer Literatur macht. Ein Transvestit, der/die sich nach einem Geldschein bückt und auf dem Hintern landet. Ein Junge, der nachts in der U-Bahn im Arm seines Vaters schläft – ein buntes Kaleidoskop dieser verrückten Stadt. „Menschen in New York“ präsentiert eine erstaunliche Sammlung von Bildern der wahren New Yorker Persönlichkeiten.

Was 2010 mit Humans of New York als fotografische Bestandsaufnahme des Lebens im Big Apple begann, hat sich zu einem globalen Phänomen des Geschichtenerzählens entwickelt, das Millionen von Menschen auf der ganzen Welt begeistert. Nun legt Brandon Stanton den lang erwarteten Nachfolgeband vor: Für Humans bereiste er mehr als 40 Länder und führte Interviews über alle Kontinente, Grenzen und Sprachbarrieren hinweg. Mit authentischer Street Photography und radikal ehrlichen Geschichten zeichnet der Band ein bewegendes Porträt unserer heutigen Welt. Geschichten, die uns Mut machen, nachdenklich stimmen, zum Weinen bringen oder ein Lächeln ins Gesicht zaubern.
