Karl Lagerfeld: A Portrait Of Dorian Gray

Karl Lagerfeld


Karl Lagerfeld: A Portrait Of Dorian Gray Karl Lagerfeld Book DescriptionIn his youth, Dorian Gray had his portrait painted and, because the painting wonderfully preserved a carefree moment, Gray begged for a trade-off: the painting would age and he himself would remain young and handsome forever. That's exactly what happened until one day, in a rage, he stabbed the canvas and died. What remained was a flawless portrait of youth. Karl Lagerfeld has staged the core of Oscar Wilde's famous novel in his own way. He shows a luxurious Bohemian world as in the freeze-frames of a film. Young people celebrate, paying homage to beautiful bodies and devoting themselves to the moment. Right up until the metamorphosis begins. Then the young man changes into an old man and the pretty woman into her own death mask. Thisbook tells the story as a film, reflecting a world of fashion and glamour, and suggesting the aesthetics of Caravaggio or the pre-Raphaelites. With this publication, Karl Lagerfeld, one of the great protagonists of the fashion scene,... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book DescriptionIn his youth, Dorian Gray had his portrait painted and, because the painting wonderfully preserved a carefree moment, Gray begged for a trade-off: the painting would age and he himself would remain young and handsome forever.

Malvina Shanklin Harlan


Some Memories of a Long Life, 1854-1911 (Modern Library Classics) Malvina Shanklin Harlan Book DescriptionLike Abigail Adams, Malvina Shanklin Harlan witnessed—and gently influenced—national history from the unique perspective of a political leader’s wife. Her husband, Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan (1833–1911), played a central role in some of the most significant civil rights decisions of his era, including his lone dissenting opinion in Plessy v. Ferguson , the infamous case that endorsed separate but equal segregation. And for fifty-seven years hewas married to a woman who was busy making a mental record of their eventful lives.
