ALFREDO PAREDES AT HOME

While touring readers through four of his own homes, Paredes shares the key elements in his creative process, giving us access to the same tools he uses in every home to decorate rooms that feel modern even as they glamorize the past, to show us how an environment has real power to transform our very state of mind. Paredes is renowned for being a master of extrapolating an entire theme from one unique item, say transforming the stripe of a crisp Oxford shirt into a unique upholstery perfect for the seaside, or finding inspiration for a couch’s decorative fringe in a well-worn piece of leather ranch gear. He is said to have “perfect visual pitch,” creating vignettes and rooms with an energy that feels undeniably masculine and sophisticated thanks to dark wood, iron railings, rustic fabrics, an overall patina, and soft furnishings in soothing earth tones.

BOSCO VERTICALE: MORPHOLOGY VERTICAL

From the outset, the concept developed by Stefano Boeri for a residential building in 2004 proved to be forward-looking as it anticipated the new frontiers of urban living. Ten years after its inauguration, the Bosco Verticale (Vertical Forest) has kept all its promises and launched a new way of imagining contemporary cities. This book celebrates an architectural work that has become the symbol of a renewed collective sensibility toward care for the environment and the plant world. Edited by Stefano Boeri Architetti, it traces its entire history. “The Bosco Verticale is one of the few ‘living’ buildings whose life is still followed ten years later.” This was the inspiration behind the editorial structure of the volume, which is formed of three sections that evoke the growth of a tree: roots, trunk, and branches and leaves.

BAGLIETTO THE ART OF YACHTING SINCE 1854

Where does craftsmanship end and art begin? What makes something a product, a brand impervious to time and fashions? These are the questions posed while strolling between the past and the present of Baglietto, the Italian shipyard that has been building world-class yachts for 170 years. Success is not built in an instant. Being good, looking to the future, imposing a style that lasts over time is the gamble every entrepreneur takes. There are not many who succeed, which is why those who reach the age of 170 deserve to be studied, as well as celebrated. Baglietto is now a kind of great international club, access to which serves the right mix of passion for the sea, refined taste for boats that is never over-the-top but rather soberly chic, and, of course, the right spending capacity for objects that cost.

MOTEROS TRANQUILOS, TOROS SALVAJES

Basado en cientos de entrevistas con los propios directores, pero también con productores, estrellas, agentes, guionistas, ejecutivos de los estudios, esposas y ex esposas, el libro de Peter Biskind narra día a día la epopeya de los jóvenes lobos de Hollywood, la génesis de sus películas y sus luchas contra el establishment. Moteros tranquilos, toros salvajes es la espléndida crónica de ese viaje alucinante que fue Hollywood en los años setenta, la historia apasionante y verídica de la última gran edad de oro del cine americano, una exaltada celebración de la creatividad y la experimentación, pero también del sexo, las drogas y el rock and roll.

QUE ES EL CINE?

En 1975 se reunieron en un solo libro los principales artículos publicados por André Bazin en la prensa especializada, con el respaldo de Jeanine Bazin y François Truffaut. Este último llegó a decir que, “más que un crítico, Bazin era un escritor de cine, que se preocupaba más de escribir los films que de juzgarlos”.
