Opis

This work provides a biography of Caravaggio, piecing together what happened during his short, brilliant, violent, and ill-documented life. It evokes early 17th-century Italy and the cities where Caravaggio lived and painted.

Recenzje

'A great read; it grabs, it kicks, it lives...Feel the force of Caravaggio's cutting edge' Guardian

Peter Robb was born in Toorak in 1946 and grew up in Australia and New Zealand. He has lived in Europe and South America for much of his adult life. In 1996 Midnight in Sicily was published in Australia and won the Victorian Premier's Award for non-fiction. In 1999 Peter Robb received the same award for M, his acclaimed biography of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. Published by Bloomsbury in June 2004, A Death in Brazil is as unorthodox a travel book as M is an unusual biography, combining writing on politics, history, culture and food in an in-depth account of a fascinating country.
