Black and white illustrations, 135pp, a very good paperback copy. "Macao, an archipelago attached to China, is a place whose name is redolent with myth, legend and history. Established by the Portuguese in 1557, Macao's role as the Portuguese trading base for East Asia, and also as the outpost for the Christian Church in the area, meant that since its very beginning it has been a region where disparate peoples and beliefs have met, mingled and learned to co-exist. Its position, conveniently located on China's doorstep, ensured that trade flourished; it became a rich warehouse, where more goods were exchanged than anywhere else in the world. It was also a place of debauchery and turpitude, with gambling dives, opium dens, secret pleasure houses and an astonishingly successful smuggling industry. Administered by China since 1999, after two decades of intensive development Macao today has been transformed. From the end of World War II until the 1980s, however, time seemed to stand still, and the city, preserved for a while from modernity, possessed a unique charm. In this Macao, East and West lived together in harmony: curved Chinese roofs, Corinthian columns and cast-iron balconies could be found side by side; statues of the Virgin were matched by little red shrines dedicated to local divinities; and beautiful Portuguese palaces were allowed to slip into elegant decay. It is this lost Macao, a dormant city of illusion, that Philippe Pons's evocative text recovers." (Publisher's description).…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. 207 pages. 'critical lives' series -tidy ex library-card covers plastic protectedThe name Chanel brings immediately to mind the signature scent of No. 5 and t he understated but sophisticated glamour of a simple black dress and pearls. But to consider Gabrielle âÂÂCocoâ Chanel (1883âÂÂ"1971 ) as simply a fashion designer fails to capture her social and cultural signific ance. As Linda Simon reveals in this biography, Chanel was an iconoclastic entre preneur who rebelled against and manipulated gender expectations of her time. Wi th her menswear-inspired designs, her loose jersey sweaters belted jauntily at t he waist, and her svelte, unadorned gowns, Chanel changed womenâÂÂs sil houettes, and she became known as a champion of womenâÂÂs freedom. Chan el not only changed the shape of womenâÂÂs clothing, but the narrative of womenâÂÂs lives in the early twentieth century. From her very first hat shop until her death, Chanel sold more than fashionâÂÂ"she sold a my th that became as attractive for many women as her coveted outfits. Simon he re teases apart that myth to explore its contradictionsâÂÂ"Chanel was a self-proclaimed recluse who emerged as one of the most spectacular personalities of her time; she was a brilliant businesswoman who signed away ninety percent o f her company; and she was a genius who claimed she was nothing more than an art isan. In this insightful book, Simon examines the world both reflected and shape d by Chanel, setting her life and work within the context of womenâÂÂs history in France and America from the Roaring Twenties to the profound social c hanges of the 1960s. Drawing upon rich archival sources, SimonâÂÂs live ly book is a clear-eyed look at a woman whose influence and legend transcend the.…
