This unique multimedia work focuses, from a timeless lyrical perspective, on the existence of Miguel de Cervantes. The resources of poetry, art, and music are used to explore the Quixotic destiny - an expression of human arbitrariety. Each poem in the book has a corresponding musical work, composed and played by the author, as well as his vocalization of the poem, all of which are included on two accompanying CDs. A DVD provides video of the composer playing two of the musical works. The book is illustrated by five outstanding contemporary artists, and is packaged, together with the CDs and DVD, in a sturdy, elegant slipcase.

About the Author

David Rosenmann-Taub is one of the greatest of contemporary poets. His works include 'Cortejo y epinicio', 'El mensajero', and 'Quince.' Armando Uribe, winner of Chile's national prize for literature, said of Rosenmann-Taub: 'He is the most important and profound living poet of the Spanish language.' Rosenmann-Taub, who studied harmony, counterpoint, and composition with the great Pedro Humberto Allende, is also an extraordinary composer and pianist, whose virtuosity meets the challenges posed by his complex, demanding conceptions.
