Sergio Varbella\'92s inventive drawings bring to life\ the theories of founder Walter Gropius, as well as the basic\ design ideals of unity and equity. Valentina Grande\'92s thoughtful\ texts highlight crucial moments within the movement\'92s history\ and in the lives of principal figures such as Klee, Kandinsky,\ Josef and Anni Albers, L\'e1szl\'f3 and Lucia Moholy-Nagy, Gunta\ St\'f6zl, and Mies van der Rohe. The perfect introduction to a\ radical but highly influential chapter in the history of design,\ this novel shows how the Bauhaus school broke down barriers\ and built up ideals that are still applied today.}
