Book: 'Don Quijote Adventure's in the ex-libris'.
(by G.N.)
It's available the book 'Don Quijote Adventure's in the ex-libris', a well made history of the
Quijote-related ex-libris, with a list of over 2,000 ex-libris, in alphabetical order by artist. More than
350 of those ex-libris are reproduced on this book, while keeping their original dimensions and (where necessary)
their colours.
There also are 11 (eleven) original ex-libris, by the following artists: Liliana Bastia, Oriol María
Diví, Cristiano Beccaletto, Eduardo Montivero, Carlo Nangeroni, Victor Oliva Pascuet, Massimo Pompeo,
Elio Randazzo, Laura Roig, Igor Smirnov; Arturo Zaera printed new copies of the ex-libris made by
Julio Fernández Sáez in 1950 for Antonio Dalmau, from the plate obtained courtesy of María
Carme Illa, keeper of the collection Pepita Pallé of the Real Academia de Buenas Letras in Barcelona.
"(...) the adventures of don Quijote over the last five centuries have not only conquered the cultural macrocosms around the world: a book like this, which searches for the influence of Cervantes and don Quijote on the ex-libris art since 1770, shows that Cervantes' hero has been, undoubtedly, the favourite of that small space devoted to the registry of literary property: the ex-libris."
