ASSOULINE 'Rio De Janeiro' Book - Travel Series U
205 AUD
With open arms, gaze slightly downwards, covered with millions of soapstone tiles and placed on a pedestal, Christ the Redeemer watches over Rio de Janeiro from his position on Corcovado. With Guanabara Bay in the distance, the statue keeps an eye out for the legendary beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana. Passionate, dynamic, colourful, Rio is a city brimming with joie de vivre. This energy is palpable during the many celebrations and events that have taken place in the city, including the Summer Olympics, two World Cups, Carnival and more. Rio de Janeiro is the home of the expressive samba dance, which perfectly embodies the frenetic rhythms of the city. Whether it's the sound of a record by bossa nova pioneer João Gilberto or the echoes of a massive Madonna concert on Copacabana Beach, Rio is not the ideal destination for those seeking peace and quiet. In addition to music production, the city also exerts a great influence in the world of design, inspiring the likes of Oscar Niemeyer and Roberto Burle Marx. And then there is the Copacabana Palace, a true icon of the Rio landscape and a favorite hotel for members of the jet set of the last century. This and much more emerges from the Rio de Janeiro pages of Assouline, a travel book that captures the soul of one of Latin America's most vibrant cities, with local insights by Bruno Astuto.

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

Readers will find everything from the guitar that JAY-Z played at the Glastonbury Festival (the first rapper to tread that rock-and-roll stage) to Daniel Arsham's sculpture "HOV Hands" (the iconic gesture, made famous by JAY-Z and seen in his concerts around the world), from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame award (JAY-Z is the first solo hip hop artist to be inducted) to hundreds of paper planes (inside which the New York school children wrote their dreams). With eight chapters (each title is taken from JAY-Z's lyrics), The Book Of HOV details the pillars of Shawn Carter's influence, from his artistry and craftsmanship to entrepreneurship and activism. In addition to nearly 700 images, the book includes in-depth essays on the theme of each chapter, which contextualize the icon's achievements and impact on culture. More than a multi-world champion, JAY-Z has broken new ground in a surprising number of areas, both figurative and literal.
