F. du Pont\u2019s retreat in Cuba, to the most exclusive resorts of the mid-20th century. Through iconic photography capturing the cultural mood at the moment when social codes relaxed from the formality of the Gilded Age to the spontaneity of the jet-set era, Mallea takes you inside a world of beach parties and costume balls set in lush tropical landscapes, of rarefied resorts and fairy-tale private estates. Among these idealized settings blossomed the resort lifestyle of international celebrities, from Marjorie Merriweather Post to Babe Paley, Princess Margaret to David Bowie, whose escapades are spectacularly captured in these pages to make the region\u2019s bygone glamour come alive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A talk and book signing by Hermes Mallea, architect and author Tuesday, April 7 at\u00a06:00 pm, Copeland Lecture Hall, Winterthur Museum, Wilmington, DE Winterthur Members $5.
