Synopsis "Picasso (in Spanish)"

Si bien es reconocido mundialmente como uno de los grandes novelistas del genero historico, y especialmente maritimo, Patrick OBrian fue, en realidad, un gran contador de historias.Publicada por primera vez en 1976, es esta una biografia completa, exhaustiva, pero a la vez profundamente personal del gran pintor que fue Pablo Picasso, y la unica que ha sabido apreciar plenamente los origenes mediterraneos del caracter y el arte del artista.Todo en Picasso, excepto su estatura fisica, era de una escala enorme. Jamas ningun pintor fue tan asombrosamente productivo y con tanta calidad; y tampoco ninguno consiguio ganar tanto dinero en vida con su obra. Nadie puede rivalizar con el en el interes del publico, siempre avido e insaciable. Y Patrick OBrian, amigo personal de Picasso, lo conocia lo suficientemente bien como para captar la esencia real de su personalidad.Asi, el hombre que surge de esta biografia erudita, apasionada y brillantemente escrita es alguien inmerso en las contradicciones: duro y tierno, mezquino y generoso, afectuoso y frio, y tambien reservado a pesar del placer que siente por la fama. El sexo y el dinero, la comida y la bebida, los amigos y las peleas, las comedias y las tragedias, los suicidios y las guerras se mezclan unos con otros en el vasto caos de su experiencia. Y esa es la impresion que esta magnifica y original biografia nos deja: Un hombre casi tan solitario como el sol, pero que brillaba como la misma vida, feroz y ardiente.

Richard Patrick Russ, known as Patrick O'Brian, was a British writer and translator born in Buckinghamshire (not in Ireland, as he claimed) on December 12, 1914, and who died on January 2, 2000 in Dublin, Ireland

Son of a doctor of German origin and an Englishwoman of Irish descent, he was the eighth of a family of nine children. He published his first novel in 1930, when he was a teenager, but did not return to write this genre —although he did publish several stories, biographies, and children's books— until about forty years later, an American publisher suggested he write a work in the line of the late Cecil Scott Forrester, maintaining the genre of the "naval epic" that had made him famous

Following the editor's advice, O'Brian wrote the famous characters Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin, who thrived in the environment of the British Navy during the Napoleonic Wars. Master and Commander, the first title in the series they starred in, led to the successful film adaptation Master and Commander, which featured Russell Crowe

O'Brian was an excellent translator of French, as evidenced by his translations of Papillon by Henri Charrière and several works by Simone de Beauvoir. A writer jealous of his private life, little was known about his life until the publication of his biography by his stepson, Nikolai Tolstoy.
