Описание: Laudada como una obra centra de la literatura latinoamericana, esta novela asombrosa, de una de las m s prominentes mujeres de letras de Puerto Rico, es a la vez una rebosante saga multigeneracional y una historia m gica de la isla. En una hermosa mansi n con vista a la laguna de Alamares, Isabel Montfort est escribiendo la cr nica de su familia. Es un relato de aventura e intriga, de inmigrantes espa oles y corsos, de esclavos africanos, de pol tica sexual y de luchas pol ticas, de maridos autoritarios y esposas que ingeniosamente subvierten esa autoridad.
Pero Quint n Mendiz bal, el marido de Isabel, ha descubierto su manuscrito y se propone contrarrestarlo con su propia versi n de los hechos. Del combate entre sus historias conyugales Rosario Ferr crea una poderosa y astutamente c mica meditaci n sobre la manera en que construimos la verdad--la de nuestra familia, la de nuestros pa ses y la de nuestras propias vidas. La casa de la laguna es una novela llena de encanto e invenci n, poblada por personajes de una gran vitalidad.

Описание: “I’m in constant search of chasing beauty, chasing hope—I’m not interested in the dark.”
The celebrated photographer Richard Phibbs, known for his celebrity portraits and iconic ad campaigns for Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, and more, has an unwavering eye for beauty. Many theorists argue that beauty is subjective, a product of individual preference, but the images from Phibbs’ archive of work from 1997–2009, edited, sequenced, and collected in "Chasing Beauty," may put that argument to rest.
The book is a deeply personal labor of love, affirming Phibbs’ belief that photographs can change, inspire, and motivate. Alfredo Paredes, one of the creative minds behind Polo Ralph Lauren, approached Phibbs with the idea of making a monograph—with one caveat: Phibbs was to step back and relinquish control. Paredes had a vision in mind of taking Phibbs’ aesthetic and selecting images that would realize his unique eye for beauty. The result is a fascinating juxtaposition of photographs that excite, tantalize, shock, and surprise. A delicate and gorgeous rose is followed by the rawness of a dirty rugby player; a pair of horses is set beside a female nude. These combinations highlight undeniable beauty of both natural and human origin, and show us that if you only look beauty can be found anywhere. 
“Sometimes things cannot be expressed in words—that’s what is so expressive, emotional, or revealing about a photograph. Just look and enjoy it. It reveals that exact fleeting moment in time—that’s all. When I lose my breath a bit, I know that’s the picture.”
—Richard Phibbs
