Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Gustave Eiffel was the man behind the landmark that became the symbol par excellence of Paris and so the dominant image of France around the world. However, the work of Gustave Eiffel (1832-1923) is obviously not limited to the tower that bears his name. From 1856, when he was commissioned to design a railway bridge in Bordeaux (his first large-scale metal construction), he imposed his style all over the world. The bridge over the Douro in Portugal, the Garabit viaduct, the church in Manila, the Manaus Municipal Market in Brazil and even the framework of the Statue of Liberty are just some of his over 300 masterpieces. Then disaster struck in 1892 when a report directly linked him to the Panama scandal that had come to light three years before. This was the start of a nightmare that would ultimately turn out to be completely unjustified. Deeply wounded, Eiffel withdrew, cloaking himself in his pride. His eldest daughter Valentine stuck by him, not only offering support, but also building up a remarkable collection of memorabilia and documents. She left this precious legacy to her beloved nephew Philippe Couperie-Eiffel, having partly brought him up.For the first time, to mark the 90th anniversary of his famous ancestors death, Philippe Couperie-Eiffel has updated this treasure trove and offers us the chance to get to know the great architect and family man through a wide range of previously unpublished archives.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Born in 1954, PHILIPPE COUPÉRIE -EIFFEL is a direct descendant of Gustave Eiffel.Exceptional documents retracing Gustave Eiffel's work worldwideAn all-inclusive panorama of achievement of one of the 19th century's most remarkable architectsThe Eiffel family records, opened to the public for the first timeA collector volume to mark the 90th anniversary of Gustave Eiffel's deathHe was the creator of the supreme symbol of Paris, the beacon that radiates the city's aura across the world, but it would be short-sighted to restrict the work of Gustave Eiffel (1832-1923) to the tower that bears his name, despite his struggle to gain acceptance for his utopian vision. From the age of 26, when the young engineer was entrusted with the construction of a railway bridge in Bordeaux, both firing his ambition and earning him the respect of his colleagues, Eiffel made his mark on every corner of the globe with his striking and distinctive designs for over 300 buildings, including the Douro Bridge in Portugal, the Garabit Viaduct in France, Pest Station in Hungary, the Post Office in Saigon and even the framework of the Statue of Liberty in the USA.In 1892, the 60-year-old was crushed by a judgment that wrongly implicated him in the Panama Canal scandal, which had erupted three years earlier. With his reputation in ruins, Eiffel decided to withdraw from the public eye. only to enter a phase of still greater creativity. With his innovative design for the first aeroplane to have wings beneath the fuselage, his research into aerodynamics and his development of the science of meteorology, he revealed himself to be a polymath as well as a visionary of the industrial age.But Eiffel never allowed his public activities to dominate his private life, and he passed on to his descendants his humanist principles and his profound sense of family values. It is this legacy that Eiffel's great-great-grandson Philippe Coupérie-Eiffel has chosen to champion and that he invites us to discover in these pages. The wealth of archive material, much of it previously unpublished, presents an intimate portrait of Gustave Eiffel, creator of the impossible. …

Softcover. Condition: Good. Eiffel es el autor del incontestable símbolo de París, cuyo aura irradia el mundo entero. Pero, aunque efectivamente se erigiera para imponer lo que inicialmente era tan sólo una utopía, limitar la obra de Gustave Eiffel a la torre que lleva su nombre sería una simplificación excesiva. A partir de 1856, momento en que al joven ingeniero le encargaron la dirección de la obra de un puente ferroviario en Burdeos que le valió el reconocimiento de sus colegas y fraguó su ambición , su estilo se impuso en todos los rincones del mundo. El puente sobre el río Duero en Portugal, el viaducto de Garabit, la estación de Budapest, la sede de correos de Saigón e incluso la estructura metálica de la estatua de la Libertad son sólo algunos ejemplos entre sus más de trescientas obras magistrales. En 1892, su vida cambió un informe lo vinculó injustamente con el escándalo del canal de Panamá que había estallado tres años antes. Y puesto que se puso en entredicho su honor, Eiffel prefirió retirarse para seguir innovando aún más creador vanguardista del primer avión con las alas bajo la carlinga, eminente especialista en aerodinámica, padre de la meteorología moderna, se reveló como un creador polivalente, punta de lanza de la era industrial. Pero el hombre público jamás eclipsó al hombre privado, y Gustave Eiffel les dejó a sus seres queridos el recuerdo de un gran humanista, dotado del más profundo sentido de la familia. Esta herencia es la que su descendiente Philippe Coupérie-Eiffel defiende hoy con pasión al invitarnos a descubrir, a través de unos ricos archivos, en su mayor parte inéditos, no sólo al Eiffel íntimo, sino también al ingeniero capaz de hacer posible cualquier sueño.CON MOTIVO DE LOS 90 AÑOS DE LA MUERTE DE EIFFELY DEL CENTENARIO DEL CANAL DE PANAMÁ Nacido en 1951, PHILIPPE COUPERIE-EIFFEL, es descendiente directo de Gustave Eiffel. Hasta los dieciséis años pasó todas sus vacaciones con su bisabuela Valentine, la hija menor del ingeniero, en las diversas propiedades familiares. Bibliotecas, antenas de radio, laboratorios meteorológicos y objetos extraños han sido asimismo el decorado de su infancia, mientras Valentine le relataba los recuerdos del gran hombre. Aprende y comprende lo que papá hizo y tú deberás transmitir más adelante , le decía. Actualmente, Philippe es el defensor más apasionado de la memoria de su antepasado.…
