Far from the beaches of Spain''s Mediterranean coast, there lies a land of quiet backwaters seemingly untouched by time. Traditional architecture, as well as dramatic natural settings of which the buildings often seem to be an organic part, mark these places as being among the most unspoilt in Europe. Profiles of over 30 village gems make up the four main sections of this book. From Galicia to the Basque country in the north lie picturesque fishing villages. Patient exploration of the heart of the country reveals such delights as Pedraza''s arcaded square seen against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains. In the east, the whitewashed houses of Cadaques have become famous as an artists'' colony, while El Palmar is renowned for its paella. And in the villages of Andalucia, like Medina Sidonia, are the remains of the Moorish civilization of southern Spain. Like all the volumes in this series, "The Most Beautiful Villages of Spain" is completed by listings of places to stay and eat, and sights to visit.

This book documents the making of the legendary film The Misfits (1961). Directed by the Hollywood auteur John Huston, it starred three of the most charismatic actors of all time Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable and Montgomery Clift and had a script by Arthur Miller, one of Americas greatest playwrights and Monroes husband. As part of the promotional strategy for the film, the Magnum photographic agency was given exclusive access to the shoot. Nine of its most famous photographers including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Eve Arnold and Elliott Erwitt covered the production, both on and off the set. Two hundred of their pictures are reproduced in The Misfits: Story of a Shoot in rich duotone, providing both a fascinating documentary of the making of a film and an intimate portrait of its stars. The photographs are accompanied by an essay by the editor-in-chief of the film magazine Cahiers du cinema, Serge Toubiana, in which he recounts the tragic and triumphant story of the film that was to become Monroe and Gables swansong. The book also contains a revealing interview between Toubiana and Arthur Miller, in which Miller discusses the making of the film, the troubled relationships between the stars (including his own with Monroe) and the background to the photographs.

A compilation of writings on photography by one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. His observations ring with the same immediacy and visual intensity that characterize his photographs. Writings from Cartier-Bresson's books are included, as well as essays on his travels and commentary on photographer friends. Some of the sele

For anyone who worships the male body or wants to know why others do (TASCHENs 25th anniversary special edition) While the female nude has long played a concpicuous role in western iconography, the male nude has not always enjoyed such adoration.

Con el Little Book of Butts, y puesto que la vida esta llena de ironias, hemos decidido reducir el contenido para que incluya solo lo mejor y de mayor tamaño, esas gorditas sin complejos a las que se referia el insigne rapero Sir Mix-a-lot cuando escribio aquello de: "My anaconda dont want none, unless youve got buns, hun" ("Nena, mi anaconda se queda conmigo, salvo que tengas unas buenas cachas").A lo largo de sus mas de 150 fotos encontraremos mujeres grandes y exuberantes, y mujeres aun mas grandes y mas exuberantes, tanto en blanco y negro como a color.
