Description du produit

Global Cities: How the World Really Lives is not your average travel series. These books skip the selfie spots and go straight for the soul of the world’s most magnetic cities – one immersive, witty, culturally soaked volume at a time. Think lived experience, not packing lists. Think stories, not itineraries.

–––

Seoul: the city of neon prayers, late-night noodles, high-rise silence, and sidewalk speed. This is the Seoul you won’t find in the brochures – and probably won’t understand at first, either. But stay long enough, look closely, and it reveals itself: layered, lyrical, absurdly efficient, and weirdly addictive.

This book isn’t a guide. It’s a portrait with street dust on its boots and subway chimes in its ears. From the history carved into fortress walls to the soft tyranny of skincare rituals, Global Cities: Seoul dives headfirst into the real fabric of daily life. We roam through student protests and jjimjilbangs, witness beauty clinics sharing corners with fried chicken joints, and learn what it means to have an entire nation’s ambition built into your apartment block.

You’ll meet shamans in Gangbuk and coders in Gangnam. You’ll eat standing up, drink until sincerity emerges, and sleep off your existential crises in a sauna beside a guy in towel horns. You’ll discover why Seoul is a city that never quite lets you sit still – but occasionally lets you rest beautifully.

Written with the warmth of a seasoned local and the curiosity of a caffeinated outsider, this is Seoul in its contradictions: hyper-modern and quietly ancient, brutally fast and strangely soft, endlessly rebuilding and yet deeply haunted. Packed with culture, food, fashion, and future shock, it’s the ultimate immersion into a place where tomorrow often arrives before breakfast.

Whether you’re a traveler, an expat, a K-drama obsessive, or just someone who’s ever asked “Why does everyone in Seoul walk so fast?”, this book is for you. Funny, insightful, and occasionally moved to tears in a subway tunnel, it’s the definitive deep-dive into one of the world’s most misunderstood – and misunderstood-on-purpose – megacities.

Come for the bibimbap. Stay for the existential reformatting.
