ASSOULINE 'Havana Blues' Book U
205 AUD
Crumbling pastel-colored facades line its streets, parked vintage cars evoke times past, live music permeates the air. Welcome to Havana, home to an overwhelming energy. Situated along the Straits of Florida, the capital of Cuba has been through several identities: Spanish colonial settlement, mobster rule in the 1930s, glamour of the 1950s, Cuban revolution and, most recently, a cultural renaissance. Havana’s bold, provocative approach to art, cuisine and entertainment—as well as the eclectic blend of African, French, Spanish and North American influences—including its range of architecture styles from the sixteenth century to the modern day, confer this epic city with a legendary status on par with the world’s greatest cities. While some of the building are in disrepair, the beauty of the baroque, neoclassical and art deco features triumphs. The iconic Copa Room cabaret that hosted Ginger Rogers and Abbott and Costello still stands. The Gran Teatro de la Habana, built in the early twentieth century, is now home to the Cuban National Ballet. Habana Vieja is undergoing a massive restoration to its former glory. Havana could be seen as a work-in-progress, but it is more a testament to its never-ending determination to improve and progress, which might be the allure that attracts so many visitors. So take a seat at an authentic paladar (family-run restaurant) and enjoy the vibrant evolution of Havana. THIS ITEM CANNOT BE RETURNED Size&Fit:; W 25 x H 33 x D 4 cm 296 pages

ASSOULINE 'Marbella Sol' Book U
205 AUD
Marbella is at the same time tabula rasa and palimpsest. It can be anything for anyone. You can meet a rock star in the morning and a member of the European royal family in the afternoon. There aren't many places where two such unique personalities can cross paths. To paraphrase Churchill, it is a kaleidoscope, wrapped in a mosaic, inside a melting pot. The result of successive waves of visitors who have left their traces over the years, Marbella is a social archaeological site where generations have lived a life of idleness gilded by the sun. Today the popular image of Marbella is that of a sort of European Miami, but just scratch this opulent surface to go back in time, when Marbella was a simpler place. In the fifties it was a quiet, dusty and traditional village, and today the old town is still a fascinating maze of streets, some so narrow that you can touch the rough white walls on either side. At Easter the solemn and dramatic religious processions snake through this labyrinth of alleys and squares, as they have done for generations. However, what is really striking about Marbella is how much it has remained unchanged. Historical figures long linked to the coast, including, of course, Prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe, may have gone down in history, but their presence lives on in those who come after them. With a personal narrative text by historian and journalist Nicholas Foulkes, a long-time visitor to Marbella, this colourful volume illustrates the various aspects of this picturesque harbour, from the mountains to the beaches, from the delightful old town to the fascinating nightlife.

A treasure trove of glitz and glamour awaits you on an exclusive two-mile coastline along the Mediterranean Sea.

The list of Monaco’s regulars reads like the list of guests to the ultimate private party: Charles Leclerc, Grace Kelly, Sir Roger Moore, Tyra Banks, Frank Sinatra, Rudolf Nureyev, Bjorn Borg, and Ringo Starr, just to mention a few. Whether you're inured by world-class competitions (Monaco Grand Prix, Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters), must-see events (Ballets de Monte-Carlo, Monaco National Day), the iconic properties of the Société des Bains de Mer (Monte Carlo Casino, Hôtel de Paris Monte Carlo, Monte-Carlo Beach), or Michelin-star restaurants (LeLouis XV, Rampoldi, Pavyllon Monte-Carlo), the world's celebrities keep coming back again and again.
