Assouline Books

Surplombant la mer Égée, une charmante chaîne de quartiers côtiers forme la Riviera d’Athènes, une évasion sereine de l’activité constante du centre-ville. Une sélection d'hôtels haut de gamme borde les plages immaculées jusqu'au point le plus au sud de la péninsule Attique. Le Four Seasons Astir Palace rénové, avec une histoire de logement de dignitaires étrangers et de stars de cinéma des années 1960, est l'hôtel le plus luxueux d'Athènes, peut-être même de toute la Grèce. La boîte de nuit Island ramène le glamour et l'effervescence des clubs bouzouki du XXe siècle qui rappellent des noms tels que Melina Mercouri et Stavros Niarchos.

Athène connaît un renouveau - dans l'art, la vie nocturne et le design. Pour une métropole constamment associée au passé, les progrès modernes du développement et de la culture sont parfois négligés au profit des ruines et des artefacts de l'Antiquité. Alors qu'en fait, la juxtaposition ne fait que renforcer la beauté des deux. La Riviera d'Athènes met l'ancien monde à côté du nouveau monde et une compréhension plus profonde de cette ancienne capitale émerge. Avec un pied dans le passé et un pied dans le futur; accès à la fois à l'électricité de la vie urbaine et à la tranquillité d'une station balnéaire, Athènes ne peut pas être définie en termes simples. Il suffit d'en faire l'expérience par lui-même.

 

Overlooking the Aegean Sea, a charming string of coastal neighborhoods form the Athens Riviera, a serene escape from the constant activity in the city’s center. A selection of high-end hotels lines the pristine stretch of beaches down to the southernmost point of the Attica Peninsula. The revamped Four Seasons Astir Palace, with a history of housing foreign dignitaries and film stars of the 1960s, is the most luxurious hotel in Athens, perhaps even in all of Greece. The night club, Island, is bringing back the glamour and excitement of the twentieth century bouzouki clubs reminiscent of names such as Melina Mercouri and Stavros Niarchos.

Athens is experiencing a revival—in art, night life and design. For a metropolis constantly associated with the past, the modern strides in development and culture are sometimes overlooked in favor of the ruins and artifacts from antiquity. When in fact, the juxtaposition only enhances the beauty of both. Athens Riviera puts the old-world beside the new-world and a deeper understanding of this ancient capital emerges. With one foot in the past and one foot in the future; access to both the electricity of city life and the tranquility of a beach side resort, Athens cannot be defined in simple terms. One just has to experience it for themselves.

Des villes aux villages pittoresques et tout le reste, la Provence a quelque chose pour tout le monde. Nagez dans les eaux cristallines de la calanque de Sormiou à Marseille. Conduisez avec le haut vers le bas à travers les champs de lavande à Valensole. Goûtez à une bouchée de fougasse tout juste sortie du four, un classique provençal. Admirez les magnifiques chevaux blancs de Camargue originaires de la région. Située dans le sud de la France, la Provence occupe une position unique pour être un mélange culturel de la Méditerranée. Les monuments romains dominent toujours à partir du 1er siècle après JC aux côtés des châteaux de l'époque médiévale - un héritage varié égayé par les mimosas et les cyprès indigènes.

Peut-être que la région est réputée pour sa capacité d’inspiration, elle accueille une pléthore de festivals tels que la Rencontre d’Arles, le Festival d’Avignon, le Festival d’Aix-en-Provence et plus encore, tous célébrant les arts. Les artistes qui ont fait l'éloge de la lumière provençale unique sont Cézanne, Van Gogh, Matisse et Picasso. Alexandre Dumas et Jean Giono font partie des écrivains attirés pour écrire à l'ombre des platanes.

Considérée par beaucoup comme la ville la plus dynamique, la plus dynamique et la plus sexy du pays, Miami est plus populaire que jamais. Pourtant, c’est une ville qui ne se contente pas de changer mais qui évolue, sans jamais réécrire le passé, ne faisant qu’ajouter à son illustre héritage. Et c'est la vraie beauté de Miami. Le chic Surf Club et le vibrant Faena Hotel n'ont pas remplacé l'emblématique Raleigh des années 1940 ni le Ritz Carlton des années 50, mais les complètent. Des classiques comme Joe's Stone Crab continuent de servir leur cuisine signature aux foules à guichets fermés chaque soir, alors que de nouveaux établissements attirent avec des chefs renommés. L'architecture Art déco emblématique reste pleinement exposée alors que le musée d'art moderne de Perez, conçu par Herzog & de Meuron, contraste fortement. Remplie d'arts et de culture toute l'année, de l'art international à The Bass au street art de Wynwood Walls, chaque décembre, la ville est reprise par l'élite culturelle mondiale pour Art Basel Miami Beach, une foire qui attire plus de 80000 visiteurs qui tournent pour l'art mémorable, comme le spectacle de Maurizio Cattelan arrêtant «Comédien», et les festivités exubérantes organisées chaque soir.

Bien connu pour sa vie nocturne, le plaisir est à tout moment un point central de la vie à Miami. Des yachts et des bateaux de plaisance bordent ses marinas, des plages animées offrent des sièges au premier rang pour un défilé de fêtards bronzés, et les bladers et les motards côtoient le long de ses promenades en front de mer. Miami est devenue la plaque tournante de tout ce qui est chic, fougueux et coloré. Miami Beach emmène les lecteurs dans une visite de cette métropole audacieuse et merveilleuse.

 

Considered by many as the country’s most dynamic, fastest growing and sexiest city, Miami is more popular than ever before. Yet, it is a city that doesn’t merely change but evolves, never rewriting the past, just adding to its illustrious heritage. And this is the real beauty of Miami. The chic Surf Club and the vibrant Faena Hotel did not replace the emblematic Raleigh of the 1940s nor the Ritz Carlton of the 50s, rather they complement them. Classics like Joe’s Stone Crab continue to serve their signature fare to sell-out crowds each night, as new establishments attract with name chefs. The iconic art deco architecture remains on full display as the modern Herzog & de Meuron-designed Perez Art Museum stands in stark contrast. Replete with arts and culture year round from the international art at The Bass to the street art of Wynwood Walls, each December, the city is taken over by the global cultural elite for Art Basel Miami Beach, a fair that attracts over 80,000 visitors who turn out for the momentous art, such as Maurizio Cattelan’s show stopping “Comedian”, and the exuberant festivities hosted each evening.

Well-known for its nightlife, pleasure is a focal point of Miami life at all times. Yachts and recreational boats line its marinas, lively beaches offer front row seats to a parade of bronzed revelers, and bladers and bikers coast along its beach front promenades. Miami has become the hub for everything chic, fiery and colorful. Miami Beach takes the readers on a tour of this bold and wonderous metropolis.

«Les Hamptons» est synonyme de luxe. Le simple fait de mentionner le nom évoque des images de soirées au bord de la piscine, de domaines grandioses au bord de l'eau et de journées interminables sur la plage à socialiser avec l'échelon supérieur. Mais avant que cette célèbre péninsule ne devienne le repaire estival des glitterati, ses quarante miles de dunes de sable ondulantes fournissaient le paysage parfait pour les colons anglais. Une fois que la haute société new-yorkaise a eu vent des charmants hameaux et de l'air salin, ses membres - des Ford aux Vanderbilt - ont rapidement transformé les Hamptons en une oasis d'été. Viennent ensuite les créatifs en quête de solitude, un lieu pour écrire et dessiner, loin de la cacophonie urbaine. John Steinbeck à Sag Harbor. Jackson Pollock dans les sources. Et Andy Warhol à Montauk. Maintenant, Jay-Z et Beyoncé, Calvin Klein, Madonna, Alec Baldwin et Martha Stewart apprécient tous les maisons des Hamptons. Ils peuvent provenir de domaines différents, mais sur quoi tous les Hamptonites, honoraires ou officiels, peuvent-ils s’accorder? Le lieu possède une allure unique - celle qui se transforme pour répondre aux désirs de son prochain invité saisonnier ou de son habitant de longue date.

Hamptons Private invite les lecteurs à jeter un coup d'œil derrière les haies bien entretenues d'Amagansett, à louer un yacht au large des Springs, à découvrir le paradis des surfeurs qu'est Ditch Plains et à assister à un match de polo à Bridgehampton. Chaque page envisage le loisir par excellence des Hamptons et met en valeur la qualité unique de la lumière que l'artiste Willem de Kooning a surnommée un «miracle». On peut presque entendre le bruit des balles de tennis au Meadow Club, les chuchotements de fêtes exclusives, les rythmes de la musique balnéaire au Surf Lodge - même la première bouchée d'un rouleau de homard au déjeuner. Les Hamptons, à la fois un refuge dans la nature et un point chaud pour les A-listers, dégage un esprit boho-chic reflété dans ses beaux habitants et son environnement sublime.

“The Hamptons” is synonymous with luxury. The mere mention of the name conjures up images of pool parties, grand waterfront estates, and endless days on the beach to socialize with the upper echelon. But before this famous peninsula became the summer haunt of the glitterati, its forty miles of rolling sand dunes provided the perfect landscape for English settlers. Once New York's high society caught wind of the charming hamlets and the salty air, its members - from Fords to Vanderbilts - quickly turned the Hamptons into a summer oasis. Then come the creatives in search of solitude, a place to write and draw, far from the urban cacophony. John Steinbeck in Sag Harbor. Jackson Pollock in the sources. And Andy Warhol in Montauk. Now Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Calvin Klein, Madonna, Alec Baldwin, and Martha Stewart all appreciate the homes of the Hamptons. They may come from different fields, but what can all Hamptonites, honoraria or officials agree on? The place has a unique allure - one that transforms to meet the desires of its next seasonal guest or longtime resident.

Hamptons Private invites readers to take a peek behind Amagansett's manicured hedges, charter a yacht off the Springs, experience the surfer's paradise of Ditch Plains, and catch a polo match at Bridgehampton. Each page envisions the quintessential Hamptons hobby and showcases the unique quality of light artist Willem de Kooning has dubbed a "miracle." You can almost hear the sound of tennis balls at the Meadow Club, the whispers of exclusive parties, the beats of seaside music at Surf Lodge - even the first bite of a lobster roll at lunch. The Hamptons, both a haven in nature and a hotspot for A-listers, exudes a boho-chic spirit reflected in its beautiful inhabitants and sublime surroundings.

Niché dans la vallée alpine de l'Engadine en Suisse, Saint-Moritz se dresse à lui tout seul au milieu d'une mer de stations de ski célèbres en ce sens qu'il a longtemps conservé une allure insaisissable. La maison d'hiver de personnalités de Gunter Sachs et Gianni Agnelli à Sofia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, John Lennon et Claudia Schiffer, il y a peu d'endroits au monde qui parviennent à réunir autant de grands noms du cinéma, de l'art, et la mode au même endroit, année après année. L’auteur Dora Lardelli emmène le lecteur dans un voyage à travers les lieux préférés de Chanel et Hitchcock et les soirées cachées du palais de Badrutt où la royauté va jouer, sans oublier la beauté naturelle, le charme du village et la maîtrise architecturale qui le définissent. St. Moritz emmène également les lecteurs dans une visite majestueuse de ses événements spéciaux, des Jeux olympiques d'hiver à la Coupe du monde annuelle de Snow Polo, en passant par le Festival de jazz d'été et le British Classic Car Meeting. À Saint-Moritz, créateurs et membres de la famille royale partagent les skieurs au bord des pistes sur les bancs en peau de mouton d'El Paradiso, font une pause pour siroter du champagne lors de longues promenades autour de son lac gelé et cristallin et savourer un café et des confiseries au Hanselmann vieux de plusieurs siècles. Saint-Moritz n'a jamais perdu son attrait inimitable et continuera de régner en tant que refuge élégant pour tous ceux qui en sont venus à l'appeler une maison loin de chez eux.

 

Nestled in Switzerland’s alpine Engadin Valley, St. Moritz stands on its own amidst a sea of celebrated ski resorts in that it has long maintained an elusive allure. The winter home of personalities from Gunter Sachs and Gianni Agnelli to Sofia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, John Lennon, and Claudia Schiffer, there are few places in the world that manage to unite so many of the top names in cinema, art, and fashion all in one place, year after year. Author Dora Lardelli takes the reader on a journey through Chanel and Hitchcock’s favorite haunts and the hidden parties at Badrutt’s Palace where royalty goes to play, without forgetting the natural beauty, village charm and architectural mastery that define it. St. Moritz also takes readers on a majestic tour of its special events, from Winter Olympics to the annual Snow Polo World Cup, as well as the summertime Jazz Festival and the British Classic Car Meeting. In St. Moritz creatives and royals share skiwassers slope-side on the sheepskin benches of El Paradiso, pause to sip champagne on long strolls around its frozen, crystalline lake and enjoy coffee and confections at the centuries old Hanselmann. St. Moritz has never lost its inimitable appeal, and will continue to reign as an elegant hideaway for all those who have come to call it a home away from home.

St. Moritz has never lost its inimitable appeal, and will continue to reign as an elegant hideaway for all those who have come to call it a home away from home.

Au large des côtes de l'Afrique de l'Est, dans l'océan Indien, se trouve un archipel connu sous le nom de Zanzibar. Tout a commencé il y a dix millions d'années lorsque l'île de Pemba s'est séparée de l'Afrique continentale, puis il y a dix mille ans, l'île d'Unguja a emboîté le pas. Ainsi, commence la légende de Zanzibar. Pendant des siècles, Zanzibar a été le havre et la porte d'entrée pour les explorateurs, dont Richard Burton et David Livingstone, pour pénétrer le continent africain inconnu. De nos jours, il est toujours possible de découvrir la faune unique que ce soit en plongeant au large des côtes d'une île privée, des lagons infinis, en visitant des mangroves ou des forêts sauvages endémiques; se perdre et se plonger dans les rues labyrinthiques historiques de Stonetown. Ce groupe d'îles se trouve à un carrefour de cultures, avec l'architecture omanaise, les héritages portugais et britannique ainsi que les rituels swahili.

La photographe Aline Coquelle partage un portrait intime d'une communauté pleine de vie. Avec la photographie originale, une culture indigène en voie de disparition est préservée et célébrée. Ce volume invite le lecteur à découvrir le paradis qu'est Zanzibar.

 

Off the coast of East Africa in the Indian Ocean sits an archipelago known as Zanzibar. It all started ten million years ago when the island of Pemba separated from mainland Africa and then ten thousand years ago, the island of Unguja followed suit. Thus, begins the legend of Zanzibar. For centuries, Zanzibar has been the haven and gateway for explorers including Richard Burton and David Livingstone to penetrate the unknown African Continent. Forward to present day, and it is still possible to experience the unique wildlife whether that is by scuba diving off the coast of a private island, infinite lagoons, visiting mangroves or endemic wild forests; getting lost and immersing yourself into the historical labyrinthine streets of Stonetown. This cluster of islands is at a crossroads of cultures, featuring Omani architecture, Portuguese and British heritages as well as Swahili rituals.

Photographer Aline Coquelle shares an intimate portrait of a community bursting with life. With original photography, a disappearing, indigenous culture is preserved and celebrated. This volume invites the reader to experience the paradise that is Zanzibar.
