• Gaudi's Barcelona | DVD | (13/09/2010) from £22.93   |  Saving you £-5.94 (-35.00%)   |  RRP £16.99

  Antoni Gaudi was an eccentric dandy and a devout Catholic. The campaign to persuade the Vatican to make him a saint still goes on. But his legacy of extraordinary colourful and simply weird buildings has made him perhaps the world's best known architect. All this despite the fact that his work was limited to one country - Spain - and almost to one city Barcelona. Every year millions of tourists flock to see the mysterious neo-Gothic outline of the Casa Battlo the rollercoaster roof of the Pedrera or the still unfinished Sagrada Familia. The strange contours of the Gaudi monuments bring joy to young and old alike. This DVD tells the life story of Gaudi from his unremarkable origins through a doomed infatuation with a divorcee to the tragic street accident which ended his life. Along the way we visit the much-loved masterpieces and hear how they came about as well as peeking at some of the lesser-known but still wonderful buildings not on the usual tourist trail. The infectious enthusiasm of narrator Robert Elms is married with some stunning photography - brilliant pictures celebrating the brilliant artwork of this peculiar genius.

• Andalusa: Legacy of the Moors | DVD | (18/10/2010) from £21.51   |  Saving you £-4.52 (-26.60%)   |  RRP £16.99

  Generations of visitors to southern Spain have marvelled at the achievements of the Moorish conquerors during their seven hundred year occupation. This DVD looks at the legacy of the Moors principally in the form of great buildings and peaceful gardens... but also stretching to achievements in science and medicine and at how the Muslims of Andalusia affected the music which today characterizes southern Spain - flamenco. Starting in Seville today one of Spain's biggest cities and in Islamic times the capital of the austere Almohades we begin to understand how the influence of the Moors stretched well beyond the end of Moorish occupation of the city as Christian kings relished the art and craftsmanship of their predecessors. Ironically it took a great Moorish ruler to leave Catholic Spain with one of its finest religious buildings the Great Mosque at Cordoba with its hypnotic rows of arches and columns. The heritage of Islam in southern Europe reached its highest point in the great palace of the Alhambra with its soothing fountains its famous Court of Lions and its breathtaking views over modern Granada. Here is the story of the far-sighted men and women whose vision gave us this wonderful monument - and of the intrigues and murders which polluted its peaceful lawns and cloisters.
