real life africa through the eyes of a non-tourist
The cover says this is an "African sketchbook" and that it is - no touristy recommendations, no diatribe on the author's accomplishments - it's simply a novel filled with the "heat, beautty, luxury, cruelty,squalor, sorrow and saintly generosity" that Africa is.

This book isbrilliant read about the "real" Africa - and a pleasant changefrom the "tourist" image that is so often thrust uponus.

Llewellyn's gift of description is so good - you can almost smellAfrica wafting through the pages as you read. ... Read more

Title: Lo que el viejo Hollywood se llevô: la edad de oro del cine musical no se reedita: a pesar de que directores y productores se empeòen una y otra vez en llevar a la gran pantalla los aclamados musicales, lo cierto es que el êxito en taquilla no corresponde. El ûltimo estreno, Nine, tampoco pasarâ a la historia como sucediô con clâsicos como Cabaret o West Side Story.(Reseòa de pelîcula)

Product Description
From the flapper look of the 1920s to the voluptuousness of the 1930s, from the psychedelic 1960s to the retro elegance of the 1990s, style has always been a reflection of society and culture. This book looks at the concept of women's make-up and style in the 20th century, a time of change and experimentation in Europe and the USA. The book traces the evolution of make-up and style in Western society from 1900 to the present day, decade by decade, using a timeline to chart the highlights of each era. Giving insight into the worlds of fashion photography, film, theatre, art, music, science and the cosmetic industry, the book discusses the impact of beauty on society and analyzes changing social attitudes towards make-up. The book also looks at the changing face of each decade, discussing some of the 20th century's well-known beauties, including Mary Pickford, Catherine Deneuve, Josephine Baker, Twiggy, Elizabeth Taylor and Nadja Auerman, captured in photographs by Beaton, Horst, Newton and Testino. ...

The Face of the Century-my review
"The Face of the Century: 100 Years of Make-up and Style" was a wonderful learning experience. It is a non-fiction book about the history of make-up and fashion (mainly make-up). I have always been interested in make-up, fashion, style and things of that nature, so reading this book was very fun and fascinating for me.
Besides all the interesting facts in the book, I loved all the photographs included in it. You can read all you want, but to see what lipstick ads looked like in 1930, and to see how the definition of beauty has changed throughout the years was fascinating.
I certainly recommend this book to anybody interested in make-up and fashion and/or history.
