In this moving account, Ian Gibson, a renowned Hispanist, takes us through the last and turbulent years of Antonio Machado. Coinciding with the 80th anniversary of his death, Gibson brings us closer to one of the many tragedies of the Spanish Civil War, revealing Machado's internal pain, his flight across the border with his mother, and his premature death at the age of 64. This book tells the story of one of the most admired and widely read Spanish intellectuals, whose remains rest on French soil.
Ian Gibson is an Irish author and Hispanist known for his biographies of the poet Antonio Machado, the artist Salvador Dalí, the bibliographer Henry Spencer Ashbee, the filmmaker Luis Buñuel, and particularly his work on the poet and playwright Federico García Lorca, for which he won several awards, including the 1989 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for biography. His work, La represión nacionalista de Granada en 1936 y la muerte de Federico García Lorca was banned in Spain under Franco.
