5.0 out of 5 stars Let's go to Buenos Aires, December 14, 1999

By	Willy Troglia (New York City) - See all my reviews

As an argentinian expatriate, this book is a wonderful reminder of my beloved Buenos Aires. But if you were not born in Argentina, you will not find only a turistic guide, a political essay or a historical vision of the city, but all that and more.

The description of the society is really accurate, and it is made with the objective point of view of a foreigner. And the research about the History of the city is precise as well. As an architect, I find the photographs excellent, and they show the reality and the contrasts of this wonderful city.

So, if you are planning a trip to Buenos Aires or just want to know more about the city, this book will give you an excellent vision of what you will find there.

5.0 out of 5 stars At Home in Buenos Aires, August 19, 2000

By	William A. Donovan "billboston" (Dedham, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This pictorial review of Buenos Aires is a stunning display of photos of the city, its homes and its people. Coupled with a descriptive narrative, the photographs, all in color, trace the history of the city and describe modern day Buenos Aires. It is awesome to see the turn of the century architecture of the various buildings and at the same time to be allowed into the private homes of the city's residents. As an American visitor to Bs.As., I found that this book allowed me to see areas that otherwise would be unavailable to view. In later chapters of the book, the writer and photographer take the reader to the city's suburbs and then on to the world famous Argentine estancias (ranches).I would recommend this book to those who have traveled to the city who now wish to be reminded of its beauty as well as to the Argentines who may now live outside the country yet long for a reminder of what awaits their return. For those who have yet to visit Bs. As., this book is a fine substitute.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book!, April 24, 2000

By	VICTOR MANUEL VALLE (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - See all my reviews

I found this book by chance on my last trip to NY.

I am an argentinian living in Buenos Aires, and I love my city. I think the book shows it in a wonderful way, through the text and pictures, which I found really beautiful.

It's good value for money too.
