Hugh Hefner's Playboy, 6 Volumes - Reviews

Page [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
"Sono sei volumi, per un numero complessivo di 3.506 pagine, ma, oltre a guardare le figure, vi verrà sicuramente voglia di leggere. Perché la prima e originale autobiografia illustrata di una parta dell'esistenza di Hugh Hefner edita dalla TASCHEN, non è solamente una collezione di bellezze da tutto il mondo. È anche, e soprattutto, una storia avvincente raccontata da un uomo che è stato definito da più parti leggendario, vero eroe rivoluzionario dei costumi sociali di un'intera epoca. Ciascun volume, oltre a immagini bellissime, contiene lavori letterari di alcune tra le penne migliori di tutta la storia della letteratura e del giornalismo mondiale, da Gore Vidal a Norman Mailer, da Jack Kerouack a Ray Bradbury. ... Per chi pensa che sia meglio vivere un giorno da conigli che una vita da leoni."

"Wer ist Hugh Hefner wirklich? Dieser interessanten Frage widmet sich eine sechsbändige Prachtausgabe von Hefners sinnenfreudigem Lebenswerk - dem Herrenmagazin ‚Playboy'. Die opulent gestalteten Fotobücher mit dem Bunny-Logo präsentieren auf 3360 Seiten nicht nur junges Fleisch in allen Lebenslagen, sondern auch einen autobiographischen Text des Verlegers. Ausgestattet sind die prallen Bände mit Stofffetzen von Hefners Bademantel. Eine Devotionalie, die begeistern wird. ... Ein opulenter Sixpack, der nicht nur Männerherzen höher schlagen lässt - eine aufregende Lektüre."

"Lapins coquins! Le pape de la presse masculine ne pouvait se satisfaire d'une simple d'autobiographie. Hugh Hefner, qui a fait le bonheur de millions de mâles, avec les créatures divines et coquines de son magazine mythique, s'offre un monument: 700 pages de documents exceptionnels. Le tout dans un coffret de plexiglas, en édition limitée. Avec un morceau de son légendaire pyjamas de soie!"

"Though we don't live in the iconic girlie-mag's heydey, we can eye up its old photos in TASCHEN's sizzling six-volume retrospective. The series features an intro by old Hef and photos of all 600 Playmates, but we bought it for the exhaustive collection of Playboy's favorite interviews."

"Si tout le monde a déjà tenu, fébrile, un numéro de Playboy, on connaît peu de choses sur son fondateur Hugh Hefner. Pourtant, sous la robe de chambre se cache un homme raffiné de 83 ans qui pèse un paquet de "sexos" dollars. A l'occasion de la parution d'une monumentale anthologie, retour sur la vie d'l'homme (au pyjama) le plus classe du monde."

"Sechs Bücher in schwarzem Leinen gebunden ... Verpackt in einer dicken Plexiglas-Box. Limitiert auf 1.500 Exemplare ... Fast 23 Kilogramm schwer. Handsigniert. Darin: 59 der heißesten Centerfolds in Originalgröße. Und ein Akt von Marilyn Monroe. So sieht die Autobiografie eines Super-Dandys aus."

"The six volume anthology is a combination of an unabashed autobiography and a fascinating, witty and sophisticated scrapbook that adds up to Hef's most personal portrait."
Playboy, Chicago

"TASCHEN's massive six-volume collection, titled 'Hugh Hefner's Playboy' explores the magazine's phenomenal impact on nudity and sex...The collection includes a page-for-page reproduction of the very first issue with cover star Marilyn Monroe, as well as 700 pages of Hefner's autobiographical content. The octogenarian pulled cartoon work, letters and personal behind-the-scenes photos from his attic, elucidating his ascent for fame, the edition paints a complete picture of the man and his empire."

"The centerfolds in 'Hugh Hefner's Playboy' are presented full-size in the pricey volumes, as are Hefner's early cartoon drawings. The set includes a 2.75 inch-square piece of Hefner's silk pajamas. This is so that one might more closely approach the Playboy reality."
