La Tour de 300 mètres - Reviews
"La editorial TASCHEN vuelve a sorprender a sus incondicionales recuperando en formato gigante un libro sobre la construcción de la torre Eiffel que fue dado a la imprenta por el propio padre del invento. La reproducción se centra en espectaculares láminas con los detalles técnicos de la admirada obra. Los textos que la acompañan están en ocho idiomas, entre ellos el castellano."Clio, BarcelonaSpain |

"Und seinen Preis wert ist das Buch … Fotos der verschiedenen Bauphasen zeigen eindrucksvoll die unterschiedlichen Etappen des Baus, durch das große Format des Buches wirkt das ganz besonders schön und anschaulich… So wird der Blick aufs Original sicher ein anderer sein, wenn man das nächste Mal staunend vorm ehemalig höchsten Gebäude der Welt steht. Und das schafft dieses Buch auch: Sehnsucht nach Paris."DeutscheWelle.de, BerlinGermany |

"When it was completed in 1889, the Eiffel Tower was the highest structure in the world, measuring 300 metres (slightly over 984 feet). The tower has become one of the world`s most famous and recognizable structures, synonymous with Paris itself, and is toured (so to speak) by more than six million visitors per year. This enormous work, published in 1900 as a large folio in a limited edition of 500 copies by Gustave Eiffel, was never sold, but only given and donated by Eiffel himself. With a text in eight languages, and featuring 53 double-page plates of technical drawings as well as 11 photographs of the construction, the book reveals the complex and fascinating process of bringing the tower to life."The Globe and Mail, TorontoCanada |

"L`édition proposée par TASCHEN ne reprend pas les textes de l`édition originale. Trop pointus, trop éloignés de la culture technique assez restreinte de la plupart des lecteurs potentiels. Avec son savoir-faire, affiné au fil des années depuis la fondation en 1984 de sa maison d`édition à Cologne, Benedikt Taschen retient l`essentiel: le format, les centaines de dessins de l`édition originale, un papier de qualité, une photogravure sans reproche qui reproduit les planches, à l`origine en chromolithographie. Et fait appel à l`un des connaisseurs patentés du sujet, Bertrand Lemoine (…), qui signe l`ensemble des textes. Comme à l`accoutumée, TASCHEN voit large et marketing musclé. Le livre est traduit en huit langues et ambitionne de séduire les amoureux du monument qui sont légion de par le vaste monde. D`où le tirage assez exceptionnel (…) et le prix mesuré (99,99 euros) pour ce petit frère en édition de la grande Dame en fer."Techniques et architecture, ParisFrance |

"Allá por el 1900, la editorial Lemercier publicó medio millar de ejemplares del libro La Tour de 300 mètres, que Gustave Eiffel escribió y repartió a amigos, bibliotecas e instituciones. Tan es así que ningún ejemplar salió alguna vez al mercado. Hubo que esperar más de un siglo para que la verdadera historia de la torre más famosa y su gradual proceso de construcción saliera de una vez por todas al mercado. Este año, la editorial TASCHEN retomó el proyecto y relanzó las 53 planchas de doble página y las 33 fotos originales del libro bajo al supervisión de uno de los mayores historiadores de la arquitectura, el francés Bernad Lemoine."Clarín, Buenos AiresBrazil |

"...a mesmerising reprint of a large folio published by Gustave Eiffel in a limited edition of 500 copies. Superb plate photographs taken during construction and complex engineering drawings show the genius of one of the world's greatest engineers."The Times, LondonUnited Kingdom |

"It`s hard to imagine today, but when the Eiffel Tower was built in 1889, some leading French thinkers decried it as a monstrosity, and it was initially given only a 20-year lease on life. By 1900, designer Gustave Eiffel was already trying to find ways to preserve his masterpiece, and he published 500 copies of a collection of blueprints and technical drawings to aid his efforts. At roughly 15-by-11 inches, this extra-large reproduction feels as massive as the tower it depicts. But the drawings—4,300 of them—are works of art themselves, and Francophiles and engineers alike will savor every stunning detail."Dallas Morning News, DallasUnited States |

"Nao e nem o mesmo livro que Gustave Eiffel publicou em 1900, um extenso portfolio em dois volumen Numa ediçao limitada a 500 cópias, mas e quase. La Tour de 300 Mètres agora editado pela TASCHEN tenta uma reediçao dessa obra. E um libro gigante e pesado onde se conta em poucas letras e muios desenhos. É um livro lindo e nao fascina apenas os especialistas."Publico, LisabonPortugal |

"Aquesta reimpressiò de mides XL explora la fascinant gènesi de la torre."Plaers, BarcelonaSpain |
