ESPERANDO A ROBERT CAPA (WAITING FOR ROBERT CAPA)

Book ID/图书代码： 05518010B36021

English Summary/英文概要： Paris, 1935. Writers, painters, poets, and photographers come together in the streets and cafés of the rive gauche, as thousands of Jews flee from the Nazis. Two young Jewish émigrés are among them. She, a German of Polish extraction, is proud, disciplined and daring. He, a Hungarian, is a born survivor who’s trying to find a place for himself in the world of photography. In barely a year, the start of the Spanish Civil War will turn them into two of the best photojournalists of all time: Robert Capa and Gerda Taro.

Love, war and photography marked their lives. They were young, antifascist, good-looking and wild at heart. They had it all. And they risked all they had. They created their own legend and stuck to their convictions up to the end.

A moving novel that pays homage to all the journalists and photojournalists who live for their profession and show us how dawn breaks in the world day after day.

“In January 2008 three boxes appeared in Mexico containing 127 undeveloped rolls and photos of the Spanish Civil War belonging to Robert Capa, Gerda Taro and David Seymour (Chim). Over 3,000 unpublished photographs. The most important find in the history of photojournalism.”

“It has to be said no one remains the same after finishing a novel. Those violent years full of broken dreams, when the lovely Gerda Taro awoke in her pyjamas, will always stay with me.” Susana Fortes
