Retratos Literarios

For a decade, Jesús Marchamalo and Antonio Santos have been writing and illustrating—respectively—the lives of writers from various eras and places. These are not conventional, canonical biographies; they highlight details that might seem minor but are of crucial importance—and perhaps little known. This volume brings together ten biographies of authors such as Karen Blixen, Pío Baroja, José Hierro, Miguel Delibes, Emily Dickinson, and Virginia Woolf, accompanied by dozens of wonderful engravings.
