Condition: Very Good — £765.85
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Vilipendiado durante tres centurias, tachado hasta hace poco de arquitecto caótico y radicalmente irrespetuoso con las normas fundamentales del arte edificatorio, Borromini goza hoy de un reconocimiento unánime y está considerado como uno de los grandes maestros de la arquitectura barroca, quizá el primero en cuanto a la aplicación controlada de la inventiva más audaz a la solución de problemas constructivos y a la creación de modernos efectos espaciales. Faltaba, sin embargo, la obra de síntesis que resumiera las precisas razones de la importancia de la arquitectura borrominiana, el estudio crítico que, lejos tanto de los ataques furibundos como de las defensas apasionadas, analizara y justificara de modo definitivo el valor permanente de la obra de Francesco Castello, llamado Borromini. Esa es la labor que hace unos años acometió Anthony Blunt, que fue durante casi tres decenios catedrático de Historia del Arte de la Universidad de Londres y director del Instituto Courtauld. El resultado no pudo ser más satisfactorio, y así tenemos en este BORROMINI una obra concisa, didáctica y sumamente iluminadora sobre el arquitecto y la arquitectura de su período.
