Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. Jacket after Pablo Picasso (illustratore). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with full number line. Some minuscule edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, slight yellowing to page block, not price clipped (£15.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy, looks unread. 274pp. A stirring account of the town that inspired one of the world's most celebrated and controversial works of art, the painting Guernica's profound impact on the politics and culture of the 20th century, and the artist whose passion and artistic vision are unequaled in modern history. On April 26th 1937 the German Luftwaffe began relentless bombing and machine gunning of businesses, homes and villages to test a new type of warfare waged from the air, at the request of General Francisco Franco and his rebel forces. Three and a half hours later, the village lay in ruins, its population decimated. This act of terror and unspeakable cruelty, the first intentional, large scale attack against a nonmilitary target in modern warfare, outraged the world and compelled a Spanish painter to respond with artistic fury. Pablo Picasso, an expatriate living in Paris, reacted immediately to the devastation in his homeland by beginning work on the canvas that would become his testament against the horrors of war. Weaving themes of conflict and redemption, doom and transcendence, and featuring some of the century's most memorable and infamous figures, Martin follows this renowned masterwork from its creation through its journey across decades, from many countries of Europe to America and finally and triumphantly to Spain. 'Picasso's War' is a book that vividly demonstrates how vital art is to human lives and how sometimes it even transfigures tragedy, a story that delivers an unforgettable portrait of an artistic genius whose visionary rendering of the terrible wounds of war still resonates profoundly today.

Sophia awakes in her new apartment. She is glad to be there, glad to have broken free of the quiet suffocation of her parental home, glad to have finally struck out on her own. And good fortune had brought her to this curious building, tucked away in the only part of the city that had survived the ravages of the last war, the Coralena, with its marked grey sandstone, ornate windows, and the decorous carving of a young woman's face above the door. Sophia is feeling pleased with herself, pleased too with the Coralena's beguiling complement of fussy old men and fussier women, intrigued by her grande dame of a landlady and her enigmatic, attractively rebellious son Dieter. She is leaving her past, with all its troubles and traumas, behind. Life seems full of possibility. At work, her boss has given her new responsibilities, here Dieter appears as interested in her as she is in him, untouched since the war the flat, like her life, seems ripe for renewal. She awakes, full of these promises, and looking across the room sees written on the morning condensation of the inside window one word RAGE. So it begins for Sophia. Set against the background of 1970s Germany, a country in political and spiritual turmoil, she is forced upon a terrifying journey of discovery where past and future collide. Scarce signed.
