About Librería y Editorial Renacimiento Sevilla, Spain

Seller rating: This seller has earned a 5 of 5 Stars rating from Biblio customers.

En 1974 fundó Abelardo Linares, en el Barrio de Santa Cruz de Sevilla, la librería de libros viejos y antiguos Renacimiento, especializada desde un principio en literatura española e hispanoamericana y en primeras ediciones de las generaciones del 98 y del 27. El fondo se incrementó notablemente con la compra, en 1995, de la librería neoyorquina de Eliseo Torres, de más de un millón de volúmenes (literatura española e hispanoamericana, crítica literaria, exilio español, historia, arte, Galicia, etc.). Tras esta compra, aunque se mantiene la tienda sevillana en Mateos Gago, 27, el almacén de la librería se traslada a una nave industrial de las afueras.

Media reviews

"Ransom, his first novel in 10 years... is (however abused the word) a masterpiece, exquisitely written, pithy and wise and overwhelmingly moving, constructed with invisible, successful craft that leaves the reader wondering how in the world it has been done... Fiction, in Malouf's hands, becomes the art of rendering the world coherent."
— Alberto Manguel, Australian Literary Review

"These pages of Ransom are nothing short of magical. Malouf's prose is delicate, marvellously alert to the natural world and endowed with a quality that has one name only: wisdom."
— Andrew Reimer, The Sydney Morning Herald

"In austere, elegant prose that subverts Homer's Iliad in significant ways, David Malouf has created in Ransom an imaginative terrain that is both new and old."
— Rod Jones, The Age
