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.

Pretty Colors to Encourage Me to Walk!
Size: X-Large, Color: (601) Bittersweet Pink / Stone / Stone
Hum. Extra large does not seem extra large. I have a slender but size 10-10.5 foot. Will keep but was hoping for a looser fit. Bought to match an Under Armour walking outfit.
