Argentina considers Itself The Most European of South American countries ", and with Good Reason. The Argentineans are Highly Cultivated People with a strong connection to The Old World; Their Achievement in design, filmmaking, literature, music, and art 'em up firmly in today s global culture spotlight. When It Comes to decorating, They Have a great talent for Bringing Together The Old and the New, With subtle touches of color and rich textiles, and Incorporating the country s beautiful landscapes In Their architectural palette. Editor Angelika Taschen prompts readers to pore over this selection of houses, apartments, ranches, Polo Grounds, and more, Including year opulent century-old opera house WHERE Maria Callas blood as well as "The homes of Francis Mallmann, The country s Most Famous Leader , Xul Solar, painter and close friend of the Great Argentinean writer Jorge Luis Borges, and Juan Gatti, graphic designer for Pedro Almodis ³ var.CommentsBritteny Hargus says... It's sad to say, but I found the book somehow disappointing. The pictures and the books is beautiful, but I would describe it as "narrow" in its selection. I come from Buenos Aires, so I know you can find some many different styles and periods reflected in the architecture and decoration style around the city and even more when you move out of the city (estancias in the Province of Buenos Aires, but also houses in other provinces, specially Salta and Cordoba). So it came to me as a surprise that out of 22 places, the book picks 4 houses designed by the same architect. Yes, the houses are different, but you can see some similarities in the style, which is also find again in some of the others country houses featured in the book. Posted on September 29, 2010 Jan Riso says... This product was as represented and arrived in a timely manner. Oringinal advertisement should have included year published. Posted on September 29, 2010 Owen Mateus says... While the info was great, it would certainly help in presentation to include photos of the areas discussed. Posted on September 29, 2010 Tera Gedney says... A feast for the senses, your eyes will be delighted, some interior decorating books are a collage of seen before pictures with little that is truly fresh, this book is full of really vintage and retro character and comfort, love the 30's apartments full of marble from Uraquay, granite and terrazo and brassware ! Posted on September 30, 2010 Kimberly Ferniza says... What this guide lacks is any real good color pictures of the landscape, historically significant buildings, parks, etc. so as to make identification easier when we visit. JP Posted on October 1, 2010 Lia Adel says... This book is GREAT!It has pictures, maps, dining recommendations, etc.This book was put to work when I went to Argentina. Posted on October 1, 2010 Edelmira Polio says... The pictures are beautiful and the information is helpful.I can't wait to go to Argentina! Posted on October 2, 2010 Brittney Heinzerling says... I am so happy I purchased this product, it has saved me time and money in planning my trip to Argentina. Posted on October 3, 2010 John Vaux says... Considering this is ONE guide for an entire huge country, it serves more as either an introductory guide before you go, or on a multi-city trip where you are not spending more than two days anywhere.If your stay is longer in any one spot, you need to compliment this with additional detailed local guides or you'll wish you had more.But again, for its purpose as an overall Argentina guide, it is excellent.The Eyewitness guides are the best when it comes to presenting a destination in its totality: history, culture, etc in addition to sites. Posted on October 3, 2010 Kaycee Bowker says... Great images, excellent quality and expansive descriptions of the latest trends in Argentina. Very useful for someone interested in design and new ideas, as well as those planning a trip to South America. They are very few, reliable publications of this sort available. Good buy!
