Is it easer to find love and sex in a metropolis of several million people? A Polish reporter decided to investigate this issue from up close, travelling through ten of the world’s biggest cities – from Paris to Cairo and New York, and the mega metropolises of China and India. In each of these places Gumowska held dozens of meetings and conversations, trying to grasp the specifics of intimacy in every place. Does anything remain of the legendary French romance? What is love like in the world of Islam? Does life in a multi-million-strong bustling city make it easier or harder to form a relationship with another person? In this insightful book, our reporter makes some painful diagnoses of human sexuality, whose rhythm is increasingly set by dating apps. But it is also a book about a dream as old as the world, one that is found at every point on the map – a longing for a feeling of closeness and love, which, always unexpectedly, sometimes actually comes true.
