?El tango me gusta muchísimo; es algo que me sale muy de adentro. De la primera etapa del tango, prefiere la orquesta de D?Arienzo.Y, como cantantes, a Carlos Gardel y Ada Falcón?.[Entrevista a Su Santidad el Papa Francisco. Clarin 2013]Escucho tango antiguo, tengo una muy buena coleccion de Ada Falcon?.[Entrevista a Viggo Mortensen. Clarin 2013]En la Argentina de principios del siglo XX, el nacimiento del tango aporta la banda sonora en los teatros, los inicios de la radio, las discograficas y el cine. En un tiempo record Ada Falcon triunfa. Su voz, que conquisto incluso a Gardel, entra en los hogares de todo el pais, sus discos se agotan y sus joyas, romances y caprichos ocupan las paginas de las revistas. Es la estrella consentida que se maneja con soltura en un mundo de hombres, elegante, esplendorosa.Pero?¿hasta donde puede llegar una persona para superar el dolor de una traicion? Porque, subitamente, la celebre diva desaparece a los 37 años de edad y jamas vuelve a cantar.Medio siglo despues, un historiador argentino y una productora española, siguen sus huellas hasta un rincon escondido. Alli, la diva olvidada Ada Falcon rompe su silencio. Y lo que revela es una historia fascinante donde la pasion, la traicion, la fe y la musica se entrelazan con la intensidad de un tango eterno.Este libro es mas que una novela: es un viaje literario y documental a la intimidad de una mujer irrepetible que eligio reinventarse en el misterio.

On the planet Furaha Gert van Dijk creates a biosphere on a new world along with its solar system Evolution on Furaha found solutions to life s problems that remained unused on Earth There are in depth accounts of habitats where marshland mixotrophs use bioluminescence to catch animals where four sided radial cloakfishes swim in tropical waters and where tetrapters flitter through the air using radial flight With over 180 stunning illustrations this is a book that all fans of science fiction biology and science will enjoy and that will inspire artists to think beyond the limitations of our own planet Major works on speculative biology are rare but Furaha is a welcome addition to the genre and gives a well considered account of life on another planet along with stunning illustrations This is a must read book which I heartily recommend Dougal Dixon The father of speculative zoology

This book is going to revolutionize the way we understand Vermeer Peter CareyThe paintings of Johannes Vermeer of Delft are some of the most beautiful even sublime in the history of art Yet like the life of Vermeer himself they are mysterious and have for centuries defied explanation Following new leads and drawing on a mass of historical evidence some of it freshly uncovered in the archives of Delft and Rotterdam Andrew Graham Dixon paints a dramatically new picture of Vermeer revealing many of the painter s hitherto unknown friendships as well as his previously undetected allegiance to a radical movement driven underground by persecution He also vividly evokes the world of the Dutch Republic as it was in its so called Golden Age This was a watery world of fortresses and flood plains taverns rocked by argument and cities stunned by devastating attacks and explosions all linked by a network of canals where a uniquely efficient public transport system operated by horse drawn passenger barge enabled people goods and ideas to glide effortlessly from one place to another The author sets Vermeer firmly in the context of his time revealing the patterns of patronage that make sense of his work and also exposing the difficulties posed by his home life whic

This small book has been put together at the request of the ardent railfan in the family, who happened to see one of these interesting prints. It is intended for teaching such younger railfans not only in history, but also science and art and the commentary and criticism is kept at this level. This work does not presume to be in any way exhaustive of the railroad subject. Japan's railroads started with two miniature steam locomotives introduced from abroad. The first arrived in Nagasaki on a Russian ship in 1853, while the second came to Yokohama in 1854 aboard one of Commodore Perry's black ships. Ukiyo-e artists especially Hiroshige III began churning out colorful and sometimes fanciful renderings of the bizarre smoke-belching machines. The father showing a locomotive to his son is very charming. Later followed prints with locomotives overturned in the Great Kanto Earthquake and a Russian locomotive that had gone through the ice on Lake Baikal during he Russo-Japanese War. After this trains came to occupy Japanese prints and Japanese art much in the same way European artists have always adored them. The authors include a few examples of other art work, ending with Shinkansen.

Osamu Sugiyama wurde 1946 in Tokio geboren. Er absolvierte die Yoshida Hanga Akademie, eine renommierte Schule fur japanischen Holzschnitt. Sein Lehrer war Toshi Yoshida, der alteste Sohn von Hiroshi Yoshida. Toshi Yoshida unterrichtete japanische und internationale Studenten in der Kunst des Holzschnitts, bis er Anfang der 1990er Jahre schwer erkrankte und 1995 verstarb. Osamu Sugiyama verbindet seine beiden groen Leidenschaften: das Bergsteigen und die Kunst des Farbholzschnitts. Seine Werke fangen seine Erlebnisse, Eindrucke und Erinnerungen von Expeditionen rund um die Welt ein. Die Faszination fur Berglandschaften, die in der japanischen Druckgrafik eine lange Tradition hat, fuhrt Osamu Sugiyama konsequent fort. Er widmet sich in seiner kunstlerischen Arbeit ausschlielich der Berglandschaft. Er bestieg Berge in Japan, Nepal, der Schweiz und Italien und lie sich von ihrem unverwechselbaren Charakter inspirieren. Sugiyama blieb ein aktives Mitglied der Yoshida Hanga Akademie. Die Akademie unterstutzt ihre Kunstler durch regelmaige Ausstellungen und fordert den Austausch unter Holzschnittkunstlern. Sein Debut gab er im Oktober 2005 auf der 50-Jahr-Jubilaumsausstellung der renommierten CWAJ Print Exhibition in Tokio. Die Ausstellung brachte ihm groe Anerkennung und festigte seinen Ruf als auergewohnlicher japanischer Grafiker. Die Faszination fur Berglandschaften hat in der japanischen Druckgrafik eine lange Tradition
