{"product_id":"sergio-larrain-valparaso-9780500544808","title":"Sergio Larrain: Valpara?so","description":"\u003cp\u003eSergio Larrain (1931-2012) published very few books during his lifetime, but perhaps the most celebrated was \u003cem\u003eValpara?so\u003c\/em\u003e. He photographed this Chilean seaport throughout his career, but it was in the early 1960s, when he returned to his homeland after traveling the world as a Magnum photographer, that it became a focus of his attention. He saw it as \"a sordid yet romantic city,\" standing between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean, falling into a slow decline as its trading importance faded away, yet still retaining hints of beauty and magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eSergio Larrain: Valpara?so\u003c\/em\u003e is based on a layout designed by Larrain in 1993 in response to the original French edition of 1991. It features a text by Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda, specially written for Larrain; an essay by Agn?s Sire; and a selection of previously unpublished photographs taken between 1952 and 1992, expanding the original thirty-six images to a total of 120. Handwritten notes and texts by Larrain himself accompany the photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Hudson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51184878289170,"sku":"9780500544808","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_aab28d98-a13a-4ea4-81ca-3891dca1bb82.jpg?v=1744581620","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/sergio-larrain-valparaso-9780500544808","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
