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.

Mount Vesuvius looms in the distance, infusing the Italian city of Naples with an electric charge just below the surface.

And the waters of the Mediterranean balance the scales with a fascinating bathing spirit. The historic city has become synonymous with creative production, such as Paolo Sorrentino's film The Hand of God and Elena Ferrante's beloved Neapolitan Novelle. Through the pages of Napoli Amore, Cesare Cunaccia - frequent collaborator of Assouline - guides the reader on an unforgettable journey through this unique destination. The Neapolitan identity is so formidable that Naples is often considered distinct from Italy. This dynamic character, lived in the streets, crafts and Mediterranean spirit, is on full display in Napoli Amore. In the pages of this book, the images of iconic photographers (Herbert List, Mimmo Jodice, Ferdinando Scianna) dialogue with those of more contemporary photographers (Sam Gregg, Ciro Pipoli, Brett Lloyd) to paint a portrait of Naples layered like a sfogliatella and compelling like a Caravaggio.

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.
