Deluxe edition of Coplas por la muerte de su padre with wonderful graphic work by Antonio Santos.
"The Coplas speak to the heart and they do so about death, of course, which is precisely the fullest and most decisive moment, the compendium and climax of every life: mine, yours, his, that of each and every one of us, of you and them. And the Coplas contain a moral, but also a historical, plastic and even costumbrista journey through human evolution. "When a painter and illustrator of the level, originality and creativity of Antonio Santos takes on the challenge of illustrating the Coplas po la muerte de su padre, I understand that Manrique's spring is still fertile and inexhaustible. That is why, like a breath of fresh air, we welcome this new approach and treatment that Antonio Santos has been able to give to the theme: colour, hieratic freshness on the deliberate borderline of naivety, depth without affectation, emotion without overacting.
