George W. Vanderbilt created one of the greatest self-sustaining American country estates of the late nineteenth century—at its center, Richard Morris Hunt’s splendid 250-room French Renaissance château. Beyond the acres of gardens designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and the imposing castle exterior lies one of the most notable private collections of fine and decorative art in the nation. Discover the wealth of treasures assembled in the historic rooms: paintings by Monet, Renoir, Sargent, and Whistler; Renaissance tapestries; rare books; and exquisite French and English furniture.

Para volver metáforas la vida, alza el poeta su canto de estatura, y entre verso y color, dolor espanta, y triunfan el consuelo y la alegría. Hay un orgullo cierto en este oficio, que viene de los dioses y los tiempos, oráculos, arúspices, misterios..., estrella que en el cosmos declina, y que renace, en forma de corazón de poeta, aeda, misionero, cantor, voz de universo, que nos trae los arcanos del divino... Prístinos y certeros, como flechas, parten los versos de Lorenzo Araujo, y si no tiene sino su viajero, sus metáforas sí: van rectas hacia la diana de la vida, de la tierra natal, de la nostalgia, trocándose en amor por donde pasan. Él quiere aupar al pobre, al oprimido, bajar a las prisiones, hacerse sangre y carne con todos lo que sufren, liberarles... Una humana belleza desatada aguarda en este libro ansiosa por abrirse camino hasta tu alma. Sumérgete en sus páginas y descubre el supremo poder de la palabra, qué es cantar para todos, y qué es ese milagro que se llama esperanza.

Sir Phillip knew that Eloise Bridgerton was a spinster, and so he’d proposed, figuring that she’d be homely and unassuming, and more than a little desperate for an offer of marriage. Except . . . she wasn’t. The beautiful woman on his doorstep was anything but quiet, and when she stopped talking long enough to close her mouth, all he wanted to do was kiss her . . . and more. Did he think she was mad? Eloise Bridgerton couldn’t marry a man she had never met. But then she started thinking . . . and wondering . . . and before she knew it, she was in a hired carriage in the middle of the night, on her way to meet the man she hoped might be her perfect match. Except . . . he wasn’t. Her perfect husband wouldn’t be so moody and ill-mannered, and while Phillip was certainly handsome, he was a large brute of a man, rough and rugged, and totally unlike the London gentlemen vying for her hand. But when he smiled . . . and when he kissed her . . . the rest of the world simply fell away, and she couldn’t help but wonder . . . could this imperfect man be perfect for her?
