Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 2nd Edition. 8 3/4" x 10 7/8", [x], 221, [12] pages, well illustrated in colour and black and white. Diamond Head's stark silhouette stands as a symbolic sentinel over Waikiki. This is the story of Waikiki, wonderfully illustrated with historic and contemporary photographs. Hawaiian chiefs ruled Oahu from Waikiki until the advent of European trade in the early 1800s. Later, Waikiki became an agricultural backwater when the centre of commerce was moved to Honolulu where the deep harbour could accommodate European ships. During the Victorian era both Hawaiian royalty and haole society made Waikiki a playground. Thus began its gradual return to prominence in a new context---as a twentieth century visitor destination. Waikiki today is a magical metropolis that glitters with the glamour of an urban resort, while maintaining a casual tropical ambiance. Hb, as new in dark red, faux leather, in very good dw.

Tapa blanda. Zustand: New. En la sociedad norteamericana de los cincuenta, casi todos los hombres de clase media-alta llevan vidas similares: viven en urbanizaciones a las afueras de las ciudades, van cada día a trabajar en tren, visten trajes de corte parecido y, al llegar la noche, se relajan con la copa que les ha preparado su mujer. Se supone que no se puede pedir más a la vida.Como Tom Rath, que también parece tenerlo todo: una bonita casa, tres hijos, una mujer que le quiere y un sueldo razonable. Sin embargo esa aparente fachada no logra aplacar su angustia: abducido por su trabajo en una gran corporación y perseguido por sus recuerdos de la segunda guerra mundial, Tom no es capaz de sosegarse. Mundialmente aclamada tras su publicación en 1955, la novela El hombre del traje gris está considerada como una de las obras que mejor han sabido captar el espíritu de los cincuenta; su aparición supuso la acuñación de la frase «hombre de traje gris» para resumir todo un estilo de vida. La historia de un hombre que intenta encontrar el verdadero sentido de su trabajo y de su vida en la ajetreada sociedad moderna tiene hoy tanta actualidad como en el momento en el que se publicó.«Si crees en el amor y en la lealtad, en la verdad y en la justicia, terminarás leyéndolo con lágrimas en los ojos.»Jonathan Franzen«El novelista que describió la angustia de los barrios residenciales de Norteamérica.»The Guardian«Exacta en su descripción de las angustias, problemas y costumbres tribales de los hombres de traje gris (.) Wilson es un agudo observador que ha escrito una entretenidísima comedia social.» Orville Prescott (The New York Times).…
