Una guiacute;a de referencia sobre elegancia masculina iquest;Queacute; diferencia hay entre un frac y un chaqueacute;?iquest;Cuaacute;ndo y doacute;nde se perdioacute; el haacute;bito de llevar sombrero a diario?iquest;Coacute;mo consiguieron las zapatillas saltar de las canchas deportivas a los despachos? Para responder a estas y otras muchas preguntas; una guiacute;a definitiva de la elegancia masculina que combina el anaacute;lisis de la evolucioacute;n histoacute;rica del vestir; las aneacute;cdotas y la informacioacute;n praacute;ctica. La estructura parte de cuatro grandes bloques (sastreriacute;a; deportivo; complementos y zapatos) que son presentados con una introduccioacute;n y una imagen histoacute;rica para despueacute;s desglosarse en apartados especiacute;ficos; solo aparentemente enciclopeacute;dicos; para cada una de las prendas maacute;s significativas. La guiacute;a; elegantemente ilustrada; tiene una voluntad atemporal y trasciende de las tendencias del momento para convertirse en una referencia claacute;sica a la vez queamena. laquo;Sea tu vestido tan costoso cuanto tus facultades lo permitan; pero no afectado en su hechura; rico; no extravagante; porque el traje dice por lo comuacute;n quieacute;n es el sujeto; y los caballeros y principales sentilde;ores franceses tienen el gusto muy delicado en esta materia.raquo;Shakespeare; Hamlet

Heartwarming; Historic and Wonderful!By d43boyFor those of you not familiar with the Unity movement; this book may not be for you. But if you are like me; a long-time student of Unity; this book will make you laugh; cry and warm your heart. To see these old; black and white photos of Unity Village (the headquarters of the Unity Movement) and see these people from 30-40 years ago following the same principles of Truth that I follow really warmed my heart! To see Charles and Myrtle; the founders of Unity is such a treat! I almost become emotional whenever I see Myrtle; the Mother of Unity. To see how many people they have helped and how many people have been blessed by Unity; from many years ago; it is just wonderful. You can almost sense and see the peace and love and joy radiating out of these peoples eyes and they seem to beckon you through the pictures to come up higher. They have definitely increased my devotion to Unity and I flip through the book often. This book is a real treat; especially for those of us who are interested in the history of Unity. We dont often see our founders; or our history and this book is an excellent testament to the true princples of Love; Joy; Peace and All-Good that surrounds us at all times. Thank you for making this book!
