Heute früh habe ich in der U-Bahn mit einem Buch über Tango begonnen. Es liegt ja schon eine Weile hier, und jetzt war die richtige Zeit dafür. Bisher gefällt es mir recht gut, es ist aber sehr klein gedruckt, und ich werde ein paar Tage dran lesen.
Mein neues Buch:
Robert Farris THOMPSON
Tango
Tango
The Art History of Love
Description: In this generously illustrated book, world-renowned Yale art historian Robert Farris Thompson gives us the definitive account of tango, "the fabulous dance of the past hundred years–and the most beautiful, in the opinion of Martha Graham.”
Thompson traces tango’s evolution in the nineteenth century under European, Andalusian-Gaucho, and African influences through its representations by Hollywood and dramatizations in dance halls throughout the world. He shows us tango not only as brilliant choreography but also as text, music, art, and philosophy of life. Passionately argued and unparalleled in its research, its synthesis, and its depth of understanding, Tango: The Art History of Love is a monumental Achievement.
