The newly published book by a well-known expert in Hispanic studies Tatiana I. Pigariova presents a truly personal look on Spain. Its nine chapters, or acts, invite readers to join the author and set off on a fascinating journey across Spain from S to N. The very cover of the book suggests a notion of the adventure the readers are about to treat themselves to. As an art critic T. Pigariova reads deeply into fine art, poetry and historical events and comes up with advanced and original symbolic interpretations. She turns to the art of metaphor elaborated by the masters of Spanish Baroque yet does so with great care: at one time a metaphor highlighting scattered pieces helps outline the entire puzzle, but at times its light can be misleading. One of the most elysian lines and pages of the book are devoted to Diego Velázquez. For instance, the author reflects on what is hidden in his paintings and why his works are at the heart of the Museo Nacional del Prado. This exquisite and gripping reading carries the audience through a gallery of portraits and mysteries. Tatiana Pigariova skillfully navigates archives and museums, leading excited readers to their treasures — artifacts, documents, and photos. Illustrations make the story feel real and so does the dialogue of the author and her readers. As we turn the pages and find ourselves on the streets of nowadays Moscow and Madrid, together with the author we fall in love with Spain, its unique culture and art.
