Beschreibung

The "Eiffel Tower" explores the captivating history of Paris's most iconic landmark, tracing its journey from controversial construction to beloved symbol of France. Initially conceived as a temporary exhibit for the 1889 Exposition Universelle, the tower faced fierce opposition from leading artists and intellectuals who deemed it an eyesore. This book examines how Gustave Eiffel's engineering marvel, intended for demolition, ultimately became a permanent fixture and emblem of French identity.

 
The narrative unfolds across three core themes: the tower's creation, its evolving perception, and its enduring legacy. Readers will discover how the Eiffel Tower's symbolic meaning shifted over time, influenced by technological advancements, artistic movements, and major historical events, including its role during both World Wars. By drawing from architectural plans, period articles, and artistic representations, the book provides a nuanced understanding of the tower's multifaceted significance. It highlights the interplay between the tower's physical presence and its symbolic representation.

 
Ultimately, this exploration of the Eiffel Tower offers a fresh perspective on how a structure can transcend its physical form to embody a nation's aspirations and anxieties. Progressing chronologically, the book delves into the initial plans, its debut at the Exposition, near demolition, and its eventual embrace as a symbol of French ingenuity and cultural identity. This book provides a comprehensive and engaging account of the Eiffel Tower’s journey from controversial construction to beloved symbol.

    An artist in every sense of the word, Lhasa de Sela wowed audiences around the globe with her multilingual songs and spellbinding performances, mixing together everything from Gypsy music to Mexican rancheras, Americana and jazz, chanson française, and South American folk melodies. In Canada, her album La Llorona won the Juno Award and went gold, and its follow-up, The Living Road, won a BBC World Music Award. Tragically, de Sela succumbed to breast cancer in 2010 at the age of thirty-seven after recording her final album, Lhasa. 
     
    Tracing de Sela’s unconventional life and introducing her to a new generation, Why Lhasa de Sela Matters is the first biography of this sophisticated creative icon. Raised in a hippie family traveling between the United States and Mexico in a converted school bus, de Sela developed an unquenchable curiosity, with equal affinities for the romantic, mystic, and cerebral. Becoming a sensation in Montreal and Europe, the trilingual singer rejected a conventional path to fame, joining her sisters’ circus troupe in France. Revealing the details of these and other experiences that inspired de Sela to write such vibrant, otherworldly music, Why Lhasa de Sela Matters sings with the spirit of this gifted firebrand.

    This book has one purpose—to offer everyone the opportunity to become as wild about modern and contemporary art as I am. I am committed that your visits to modern and contemporary art exhibits become joyful, enriching experiences that you eagerly anticipate, avidly soak in and never get over. 
    I say that the ability to appreciate art, including every type of art, is innate to all human beings. I have discovered that unlocking this natural love of art has much more to do with clearing out what's in the way than it does with accumulating information. 
    When I look at my own love affair with the art of our time, I see clearly that when I am focused entirely on the art in front of me—setting aside judgment and cognitive thinking—that's when I find myself profoundly moved and deeply satisfied. 
    I have come to the conclusion that the key to unlocking the magic of modern and contemporary art is in the ability to immerse oneself in the art and truly "experience" it. So, the obvious and most vital question becomes, "How does one learn to experience modern and contemporary art?" That is the work of this book.

    Alejandra Mantiñan - for the chapter The meaning of your personal-development path in tango 
    Connection, expression, wonderful tandas; what if you could get more of this? 
    In this unique audiobook, which became the most translated tango book in the world, Dimitris takes you on a journey of exploring connection, awareness, and meaning in tango. 
    In its short chapters, tango philosophy and meaningful stories merge with practical conclusions in a personal conversation that can change the way you experience your tango forever. 
    This audiobook is for those who look for meaning, connection, and awareness in tango; in one word: Tangofulness. 
    It is for those who know how it is to be hugged and feel safe; for those who have experienced a few best-tanda-of-my-life moments and want more of them. 
    Above all, it is for those who want to explore the origin of meaningful connection in argentine tango, not as an intellectual process, but as a practical way to experience tangofulness more often and in greater intensity. 
    Dimitris Bronowski took his first tango steps in 2009. 
    In 2019 he quit his job to dedicate himself to his passion: tango. He is the publisher of the bestselling book Tango Tips by the Maestros, a tango blogger, creator of the podcast and newsletter 'The Curious Tanguero', and a student of tango. His vision is to help one million people experience moments of meaning through tango.
