"Tango" is a stylish and sexy coffee table book for fans of the tango. It features 80 duotone (black and white) photographs by Isabel Munoz of dancers in various stages of tango. On the facing pages there are lyrics of popular tango songs, displayed like poetry, in both Spanish and English. A short story by French author Evelyne Pieiller prefaces and introduces us to the photographs and lyrics. Many of the photographs are erotic, and some are semi-nude, so this book may not be to everyone's taste. But "Tango" beautifully captures the drama and eroticism of this dance that was born of competition in the bordellos of Buenos Aires and has achieved -just enough, but not too much- respectability as it continues to capture the imagination of couples around the world.
This steamy book captures the intimacy of the tango. It is a great gift to buy for any tango afficionado and even your lover.Not only does the book have photographs, but also lyrics to Spanish songs along with the English translations. The lyrics tell stories of love,betrayal and recollection of a lost lover.
A super pictorial of Tango. As you turn the pages you can hear the music and feel the beat. If you're not careful you'll sense the heat, and if you turn just one more page, you'll be drawn into the book itself and become one of the dancers. Read it at your own risk and get ready for some steamy dangin' on your floor!!!
I think this is about the most sensuous book of tango photography ever. I have two of them.
The book is great--I would not describe the cover as "very good" though
