M by Peter Robb
The wild persona of the late-sixteenth-century artist, who captured the dark, violent spirit of his age better than any of his contemporaries, is well-documented in this biography of Caravaggio by the author of Midnight in Sicily. Reprint. 25,000 first printing.
Peter Robb has divided his time among Brazil, southern Italy, and Australia for the last quarter century. He is the author of Midnight in Sicily, a New York Public Library Best Book and a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year; and M The Man Who Became Caravaggio, which was a New York Times Notable Book of 2000. The Economist described Midnight in Sicily as quite simply, the best book about Italy in English and The Times Literary Supplement called it a classic.Deliciously sensuous and fascinating, Robb renders in vivid detail the intoxicating pleasures of Brazil's food, music, literature, and landscape as he travels not only cross country but also back in time--from the days of slavery to modern day political intrigue and murder. Spellbinding and revelatory, Peter Robb paints a multi-layered portrait of Brazil as a country of intoxicating and passionate extremes.
