La splendide réédition des portraits de métropoles imaginés par l'illustrateur iconique Sasek !
En 1960 paraissait chez Casterman une série de portraits de villes illustrés : plébiscite immédiat, tant le travail d'illustration de ces ouvrages manifestait de talent, de modernité, de souffle et de poésie. L'auteur des images, Miroslav Sasek (1916-1980), allait s'imposer dès lors comme une référence majeure de l'illustration dans le monde. Aujourd'hui encore, ces beaux albums n'ont pas pris une ride : inventifs, graphiques, humoristiques par subtiles touches, ils demeurent remarquables de maîtrise et d'élégance. Exceptée la belle nouvelle couverture pour Paris avec son effet soft touch, cette version 2024 est fidèle à l'édition d'origine, avec des intérieurs en fac-similé. A l'intérieur, une page additionnelle qui resitue la ville évoquée dans son contexte d'aujourd'hui. Des albums fascinants qui séduiront petits et grands ! -

En 1960 exactement, sous la sobre bannière de l'Encyclopédie Casterman, paraissait une série de portraits de villes illustrés, spécialement conçus pour la jeunesse. Plébiscite immédiat, tant le travail d'illustration de ces ouvrages manifestait de talent, de modernité, de souffle, d'humour et de poésie. L'auteur des images, le Tchécoslovaque Miroslav Sasek (1916-1980), allait s'imposer dès lors comme une référence majeure de l'illustration. Aujourd'hui encore, ces beaux albums n'ont pas pris une ride ; inventifs, colorés et souvent souriants, ils demeurent remarquables de maîtrise et d'élégance. C'est la raison pour laquelle Casterman en propose aujourd'hui une nouvelle édition en fac-similés. Trois albums concrétisent le lancement de cette initiative, consacrés chacun à une grande métropole européenne : Londres, Paris et Rome. Les ouvrages sont strictement conformes à l'édition d'origine, à un ajout près : une page additionnelle en fin d'album indique les principaux changements ou les nouveaux monuments apparus depuis cinquante ans.

With the same wit and perception that distinguished his charming books on London, New York, and San Francisco, here this famous Czech painter presents his impressions of Paris in This Is Paris, first published in 1959 and now updated for the 21st century. We see its famous buildings, its beautiful gardens, the museums, the sidewalk cafes, and the people who live there -- artists, the concierges, the flower girls, and even the thousands of cats. Take a tour along the banks of the Seine, or through the galleries of the Louvre, or to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Elegant, vivid pictures of one of the most beautiful cities in the world, This is Paris!

Plébiscite immédiat, tant le travail d'illustration de ces ouvrages manifestait de talent, de modernité, de souffle et de poésie. L'auteur des images, Miroslav Sasek (1916-1980), allait s'imposer dès lors, à l'échelle internationale, comme une référence majeure de l'illustration. Cinquante ans après, Casterman propose une nouvelle édition de cette série d'ouvrages, en fac-similés. Celui que Sasek a consacré à Israël est le seul à évoquer tout un pays, et non simplement une ville. D'inspiration volontiers biblique, et pour une fois plus sensible aux décors naturels qu'aux paysages urbains, il demeure néanmoins l'un des plus réussis.

With the same wit and perception that distinguished his stylish books on Paris, London, and Rome, M. Sasek pictures fabulous, big-hearted New York City in This Is New York, first published in 1960 and now updated for the 21st century. The Dutchman who bought the island of Manhattan from the Native Americnas in 1626 for twenty-four dollars' worth of handy housewares little knew that his was the biggest bargain in American history. For everything about New York is big -- the buildings, the traffic jams, the cars, the stories, the Sunday papers. Here is the Staten Island Ferry, the Statute of Liberty, MacDougal Alley in Greenwich Village, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Harlem, Chinatown, Central Park. The brass, the beauty, the magic, This Is New York!

Like the other Sasek classics, these are facsimile editions of his original books. The brilliant, vibrant illustrations have been meticulously preserved, remaining true to his vision more than forty years later and, where applicable, facts have been updated for the twenty-first century, appearing on a "This is . . . Today" page at the back of each book. The stylish, charming illustrations, coupled with Sasek's witty, playful narrative, make these books a perfect souvenir that will delight both children and their parents, many of whom will remember them from their own childhood. In This is Australia, first published in 1970, Sasek swings down under, winging his readers into Sydney, with its famous bridge and space-age Opera House; bustling, modern Melbourne; colonial Adelaide; semitropical Brisbane; the garden city of Canberra; mineral-rich Perth; and Alice Springs, Australia's most famous outback town.

On the heels of the runaway bestsellers This is New York and This is Paris, Universe is pleased to reissue another title from M. Sasek's beloved and nostalgic children's travel series.
Like the other Sasek classics, This is Ireland is a facsimile edition of his original book from the 1960s and is still timely and current in every way. The brilliant, vibrant illustrations have been meticulously preserved, remaining true to his vision more than 40 years later and, where applicable, facts have been updated for the twenty-first century, appearing on a 'This is...Today' page at the back of the book. The stylish, charming illustrations, coupled with Sasek's witty, playful narrative, makes for a perfect souvenir that will delight both children and their parents, many of whom will remember this book from their childhood.
This is Ireland, first published in 1964, brings the Emerald Isle to life, where the shamrock grows and a leprechaun stands at the end of every rainbow, guarding a crock of gold. There's Dublin with its bustling crowds, tall steeples, and Trinity College; there's Clonmacnois, the burial place of kings; there's the Blarney Stone to kiss for eloquence, and much, much more in this verdant, friendly land filled with enchanted lakes and mountains that fall steep to the sea. -

This is Hong Kong , first published in 1965, captures the enchantment and the contrasts of Hong Kong in the sixties. Roaring jets bring in the tourists; bamboo rickshaws taxi them through exotic streets fragrant with incense, roasting chestnuts, and honey-glazed Peking duck. Sasek shows you the sweeping panorama of gleaming Kowloon Bay framed by misty mountain ridges, then moves in for close-ups of laborers and hawkers, refugees from the mainland, and sailors of flame-red junks, and the strange "water people" who, it is said, never set foot on dry land.

The charming illustrations, coupled with Sasek's witty, playful narrative, make for perfect souvenirs that will delight both children and their parents, many of whom will remember them from their own childhood. This is Britain, first published in 1974, encompasses the nation's many facets, from the mystery of Stonehenge to the monuments of the British Isles. Among his stops are the White Cliffs of Dover; Brighton's Prince Regent's Royal Pavilion; the castles and Tintern Abbey in Wales; and Scotland's four Royal Palaces and long lochs. This is Israel, first published in 1962, visits the Promised Land, a sun-drenched panorama of many hues and many traditions. From the Sea of Galilee to the Red Sea (it's really blue); from modern Tel Aviv to Jerusalem new and old; from Mt. Zion to King Solomon's mines; Sasek presents the biblical glory of its past and the golden hope of its future.

This is Rome , first published in 1960, traces the history of Roman civilization to bring to life the Rome of the 60's. Sasek navigates Rome's busy, winding streets to visit such glorious historical landmarks as the statues of Michelangelo, Vatican City, the Pantheon, and the Fontana di Trevi-and to show us the eccentricities of modern Roman life, from its colorful trains, trams, and taxis to its chic espresso bars and pasta houses.

The illustrations have been meticulously preserved and the facts updated for the twenty-first century. The charming illustrations, coupled with Sasek's playful narrative, make perfect souvenirs that will delight both children and parents.

There's Athens, with its spectacular views of the Acropolis, the Parthenon, temples, theaters, and marketplaces; architecture-renowned Corinth; Mycenae, inhabited since 3000 B.C.; Olympia, home of the gods; Delphi, famous for its legendary oracle; and the beautiful isles. There's also modern-day Greece, where life is lived on street corners, in squares, and at tables amid reminders of the past.

Also included are the updated statistics about the lunar landing and a mini history of NASA's space program.
