La aventura americana de Rafael Guastavino, el arquitecto español de Nueva York.

Nueva York 1881: en uno de los barrios más populares malviven el pequeño Rafaelito y su padre, Rafael, un reputado maestro de obras valenciano que lucha por demostrar su talento en la gran urbe. Lo acecha la ruina absoluta. Pero gracias a su genio infatigable, ese hombre alcanzará fama y fortuna al construir los edificios emblemáticos que han dado su perfil a Nueva York.

Javier Moro nos presenta al singularísimo Rafael Guastavino, un auténtico genio de la construcción que deslumbró a los grandes magnates norteamericanos, conquistados por las técnicas que empleaba en sus obras para evitar los incendios, el mayor mal de las megalópolis del siglo XIX. Tuvo una vida jalonada de éxitos: de su estudio salieron construcciones tan «neoyorquinas» como la Estación Central, el gran hall de la isla de Ellis, parte del metro, el Carnegie Hall o el Museo Americano de Historia Natural.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The American adventure of Rafael Guastavino, the Spanish architect from New York.

New York 1881: In one of the most popular neighborhoods, little Rafaelito and his father, Rafael, a renowned Valencian master builder who struggles to prove his talent in the big city, live poorly. Absolute ruin is lurking in his hands. But thanks to his indefatigable genius, that man will achieve fame and fortune by building the emblematic buildings that have given New York its profile.

Javier Moro introduces us to the very unique Rafael Guastavino, a true construction genius who dazzled the great American magnates, conquered by the techniques he used in his works to prevent fires, the greatest evil of the megalopolises of the nineteenth century. He had a life marked by successes: his studio produced such "New York" constructions as Central Station, the great hall on Ellis Island, part of the subway, Carnegie Hall or The American Museum of Natural History.

Amazing alternative to pricier bags
Color: Black
This is a great bag! I wanted a high quality, real leather bag to carry as an alternative to my pricier luxury bags and this is perfect! The leather feels great, the stitching is meticulous, and the design is so classy. A+!

Perfect smaller bag for your shoulder
Color: Burgundy
This is a great little bag well made, and holds a cell phone, a wallet and a few other necessary items. The clasp is quality as is the strap. The only complaint is that the leather is very hard. I thought it would be softer. I have had many compliments on it. Some people saying it looked like a coach others thought it was another brand name. Definitely recommend if you don’t want to spend a lot of money and have some class hanging from your shoulder.

Cute night out bag
Color: Burgundy, Color: Burgundy
This bag is cute for a night out, I love the material and the color. It comes with two straps, one is a crossbody strap and other is shoulder strap. The shoulder strap is long enough and is perfect length. I foresee this bag the last for a while since the leather feels thick. If I had to change one thing it would be the hardware…. I would change it to real brass and this bag would be perfect in my eyes. I even purchased it in black after I got this one. It fits my thick compact wallet, my keys, my dijo pocket camera, lipstick and earphones comfortably.
