Soviet Metro Stations

It's just perfect. A masterpiece

Comprei de presente para o meu pai que adorou o livro. Apesar do tamanho um pouco menor do que eu gostaria para um libro de fotos, a qualidade das imagens, encadernação e capas é muito boa. O livro apresenta fotos e informações sobre estacões de metrô na Russia e um pouco da história.

NUNCA ME LLEGO EL PAQUETE

This is a brilliant book, giving a great range of images across the complete Soviet Metro system. The photographer Christopher Herwig travelled to 15 different Metro systems of the former USSR (there are some amazing eastern ones, like Tashkent and Baku). He manages to capture the lavish pomp (Moscow) and the stark utilitarianism (Nizhny Novgorod) occasionally surfacing for a dramatic architectural exterior. There are also lovely details such as the individual letterforms of station names, light fixtures, sculptures, etc. An extensive introduction by Owen Hatherley details the history of the Soviet Metro, making this a comprehensive overview.I was given my copy by a friend and have since bought two more copies here. It makes a unique present!

eine schöne Fortsetzung der Reihe "Soviet Bus Station". Ich bin ein Fan!
