The last two books I’ve bought for myself

So yesterday I was shopping and I pampered myself with two whimsical things I had from long ago. The first one is Gil Elvgren - The Complete Pin-Ups, which I’ve been searching for a long time, and that I found by pure chance. A wonderful thing, and with this thing of Taschen’s 25th anniversary, very cheapy. The other one is M.C. Escher, Graphic Work, and this one was also ubercheap for the quality it has. And both of them were together! I didn’t want to separate one of each other so I bought both ^_^

Fallingwater

Anyone who has read Hyperion Cantos, will have been overhelmed by the amount of references to poetry, literature, science, history and, well, any field of human arts and sciences. One doesn’t understand really the pain of John Keats until his biography hasn’t been read. The same happens at the beginning of The Rise of Endymion with the architect Frank Lloyd Wright, simply known as Mr. Wright by Aenea and the students who appear in the start of this book. Well, Wright was the designer of the fabulous Fallingwater, a house build in the woods and over a waterfall. Today the house is a museum, but those who can visit it, can witness the awesome sheer beauty of it in this Fallingwater in 3D video.
