Condition: Standard Secondhand — £23.89
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.

Il fotografo Frédéric Chaubin ci mostra 90 edifici situati in ex repubbliche sovietiche che esprimono ciò che può essere considerato come la quarta età dell’architettura sovietica. Testimoniano infatti, l’inaspettata rinascita dell’immaginazione che ebbe luogo fra gli anni ‘70 e il 1990. In quel periodo contrariamente a quanto successe negli anni ‘20 e ‘30 non emerse nessun tipo di “scuola”. Sono edifici la cui architettura esprime più che altro il nuovo impulso caotico che nasceva da un sistema in disfacimento. Gli architetti approfittando del crollo della struttura monolitica, si diedero ad esplorare periodi e stili risalendo alle radici o semplicemente creando e innovando. Alcuni dei più audaci completarono i progetti solo sognati dai Construttivisti, altri preferirono l’espressionismo. Nacque così un puzzle di stili che rappresentava tutte le ossessioni di quel difficile periodo: l’ossessione per il cosmo, la rinascita della proprietà privata. Testimonia anche della varietà della geografia URSS e della sua evidente influenza sul gigante sovietico prima del definitivo decesso.
