In the essay book Thresholds, Oscar Martinez takes readers on a fascinating journey full of stories and observations: from the House of the Vettii in Pompeii to the Dolmen of Menga and the Abbey of Sainte-Foy. The author talks about the Fouquet jewelry store in Paris, the Bauhaus building in Dessau, the Güell estate in Barcelona, the Castel Nuovo castle in Naples, the Regaleira estate in Portugal and the Secession House in Vienna.
These are not just architectural elements - they are symbols of the transition between worlds, centuries-old boundaries behind which secrets and changes are hidden.

Thanks to Oscar Martinez's book, readers familiar with these places will have the opportunity to look at them in a new way, and those who are just getting to know them will discover the timeless grandeur of these monuments.

"Thresholds" is a guide to the past, returning to the ever-hurrying reader and traveler the knowledge of past centuries, as well as symbols and signs that are not always obvious today.

Climb the steps of time eras and let "Thresholds" open new worlds for you.
