NOVEDADES

Las tinieblas y el alba te transporta al año 997, antes de que exista la catedral de Kingsbridge. Edgar, un joven constructor de barcos; Ragna, hija de un noble normando; y Aldred, monje idealista, se enfrentan a invasiones vikingas, ambiciones eclesiásticas despiadadas y los albores de una civilización aún en formación. Los pilares de la Tierra se sitúa en el siglo XII en la Inglaterra de la Anarquía. En la villa de Kingsbridge, la construcción de una catedral gótica se convierte en el eje de una trama tejida con intrigas políticas, rivalidades sociales, pasiones amorosas y personajes tan grandes como la propia catedral. Un canto épico de poder, ambición, espiritualidad y arquitectura. Un mundo sin fin regresa a Kingsbridge doscientos años después. La peste negra, la fragilidad de las instituciones, los cambios sociales, los descensos del poder feudal y los nuevos desafíos para los habitantes comunes y los nobles: Follett explora cómo el tiempo transforma no solo piedras, sino mentalidades, ciudades, ideales y supervivencia. Una columna de fuego desplaza la acción al siglo XVI, en plena guerra de religiones. Ned Willard y Margery Fitzgerald viven tiempos de división religiosa, espionaje, conspiraciones políticas y amor desgarrado. Kingsbridge sigue siendo testigo, mientras Europa se desgarra entre fe, poder y revolución. La armadura de la luz completa este viaje épico al llevarnos más adelante en la historia del mismo universo: nuevos personajes, nuevas amenazas, nuevos retos para Kingsbridge y su legado.

Published on the occasion of a major exhibition at Nakanoshima Museum of Art in Osaka, Japan, this volume explores the deep and transformative relationship between Louis Vuitton and Japan, which has produced myriad innovative collaborations that have defined the brand and revolutionized contemporary fashion. This fresh perspective on the global impact of the luxury powerhouse follows Louis Vuitton’s journey from pioneering trunk innovations to its outsize influence on global street style, especially in Japan. In the volume, the Maison’s history comes to life, from the evolution of its Monogram logo (which took inspiration, in part, from Japanese design) to the ingenious flat stackable trunk and patented lock innovations, alongside the brand’s bold expansion into Japan. The authors consider the house’s groundbreaking artistic collaborations most notably with artists Takashi Murakami (with his iconic “Monogramouflage”) and Yayoi Kusama (with her signature polka-dot motifs) which transformed Louis Vuitton’s visual identity.

From charming bungalows to sleek minimalist houses and apartments to restorations of iconic Mediterranean Revival residences to a garden dotted with oversized insect sculptures, the homes showcased in Palm Beach Living are as distinctive as they are representative of the ever-evolving design trends on the nation’s most exclusive barrier island. Some of the homes incorporate the exuberant colors of the island’s flora; others opt for a soothing, more neutral palette to contrast with the surrounding landscape. All embrace indoor-outdoor living, and each reflects the unique aesthetic of the owner. Guided by native Palm Beacher Jennifer Ash Rudick, with photographs by Nick Mele, “a modern-day Slim Aarons,” readers are granted an intimate look at the best in tropical living. This gorgeous coffee table book highlights the work of renowned architects—from the legendary Maurice Fatio and John Volk to Daniel Kahan, Fairfax & Sammons, Jeffrey W. Smith, and David Fox & Chris Stone—superb landscape designers, including Mario Nievera, Jorge Sánchez, and Fernando Wong, and such world-class interior designers as Tom Scheerer, Amanda Lindroth, Mark D. Sikes, Jonathan Adler, Frank de Biasi, Mimi McMakin, the late Carleton Varney, and Kim Coleman.

Slim Aarons: Style showcases the photographs that both recorded and influenced the luminaries of the fashion world. This collectible volume features luscious early black-and-white fashion photography, as well as color portraits of the fashionable elite—like Jacqueline de Ribes, C.Z. Guest, Nan Kempner, and Marisa Berenson—and those that designed the clothes, such as Oscar de la Renta, Emilio Pucci, Mary McFadden, and Lilly Pulitzer. ​Featuring a number of never-before-seen images and detailed captions written by fashion historians, Slim Aarons: Style is a collection of the photographer’s most stylish work. Slim Aarons, at least according to the man himself, did not photograph fashion: “I didn’t do fashion. I did the people in their clothes that became the fashion.” But despite what he claimed, Aarons’s work is indelibly tied to fashion. Aarons’s incredibly influential photographs of high society and socialites being unambiguously themselves are still a source of inspiration for modern day style icons. This coffee table book is perfect for sharing, displaying, and gifting.
