5.0 out of 5 stars Travelling Light (Ligero de Equipaje) a biography of Antonio Machado by Ian Gibson, November 16, 2011

This review is from: Ligero de Equipaje: La Vida de Antonio Machado (Hardcover)
Ian Gibson is well known as the definitive biographer of Federico Garcia Lorca. His knowledge and impeccable research into his subjects ensures his place as one of best biographers writing today.Now the magnificent piece of work which is his story of Antonio Machado. His long residence in Spain also euips him with a profound understanding of the Spanish culture of our time and that of his subject matter. I love Machado's poetry and found Gibson's understanding of Machado's poetic style and content added much to my appreciation of it. He weaves historical and personal detail in an easy to read manner and although the book is a large work it is never a daunting task. I was able to follow Machado's times in Segovia, Soria and flight as a refugee from Franco's regime over the border to Collioure where he is buried. Following his story created a "map" for part of our journeys in Spain in 2008 and 2010.This is a book not just for scholars but for those who enjoy a very satisfying read.
