There are only two notable differences between toys for little boys and toys for grown-up boys: the toys get bigger with ageand more expensive. Matchbox cars give way to high-end sports cars, model boats become motorboats and sailing yachts, and the plastic wristwatch turns into a Swiss chronograph with a perpetual calendar and minute repeater. The Toys for Men series has always stayed abreast of this male drive to play; in the latest volume, we present the ultimate wish list, a selection of the most exclusive, most innovative, and most luxurious toys that men with money can buy. Of course, the list includes the classic male fantasies of Lear jets, mega- yachts, and super sports carsthe truly giant and great things that move men in the air, on water, or on land. But it also includes the little gadgetsfrom headphones and wristwatches to SLR camerasthat make tech-loving men's hearts beat a little faster. We also include the vices that speak to connoisseurs, like that special bottle of French wine, Scottish whiskey, or Cuban cigars. And last but not least, we include one of the greatest luxuries of all: having a product tailored to you and you alone, bespoke-style. But we're not just talking about custom- tailored suits. Cars, golf clubs, skis, nearly everything today can be customized to suit your particular tastes. If you're searching for the ultimate toys for the gentleman who has everything, you'll hit pay dirt here. Because as philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche already knew, "There is a child hidden in every man: and it wants to play

“Il Tintoretto è stato adorno di quei più nobili requisiti che valgono a costituire un pittore nella sublimità maggiore d'arte sì rara ed eccellente.”

Representar la luz sobre un papel consiste, en realidad, en oscurecer una superficie para crear una ilusión visual de luminosidad. En otras palabras, iluminar a traves del oscurecimiento: ese es el reto de la representacion visual de la luz y en este libro Peter Boerboom y Tim Proetel recogen cerca de 150 ejemplos comentados que nos desvelan las numerosas tecnicas y recursos graficos —desde las sombras y los degradados hasta los contrastes y la perspectiva— que nos permiten solucionar esta maravillosa paradoja. Un compendio dirigido a principiantes y profesionales que sin duda se convertira en un libro de obligada consulta a la hora de experimentar con las infinitas posibilidades de representacion del dibujo.

El autor de esta obra es antes que nada cineasta. Si ha escogido expresar por escrito el fruto de sus reflexiones sobre la naturaleza de este arte, es en primer lugar en provecho de los que crean cine, no para proponer recetas ni modelos estrictos, sino para sugerir actitudes de investigacion que ayuden al realizador a explorar sus propias exigencias. Pero este libro existe tambien para aquellos que aman el cine. El analisis de los films escogidos pretende mostrar al cinefilo como ver mejor el cine, como forjarse criterios mas rigurosos ante la masa de peliculas que se le proponen.Los textos que aqui se recogen fueron publicados en forma de diez articulos escritos para la prestigiosa revista Cahiers du Cinema y posteriormente compilados y divididos en los cuatro bloques tematicos que conforman la obra. Burch centra su analisis en las primeras manifestaciones cinematograficas. Es en los modos de representacion primitivos donde encuentra la esencia de la praxis filmica. Y es por eso que sus conclusiones sobre la relacion entre tiempos y planos, su vision del espacio filmico, o su entendimiento de los lenguajes y los estilos sigue siendo hoy como ayer una pieza clave para abordar la estructura de la creacion cinematografica.
