At the height of his powers, Pablo Picasso was the artist as revolutionary, breaking through the niceties of form in order to mount a direct challenge to the values of his time. At the height of his fame, he was the artist as royalty: incalculably wealthy, universally idolized−and wholly isolated.
In this stunning critical assessment, John Berger−one of this century's most insightful cultural historians−trains his penetrating gaze upon this most prodigious and enigmatic painter and on the Spanish landscape and very particular culture that shpaed his life and work. Writing with a novelist's sensuous evocation of character and detail, and drawing on an erudition that embraces history, politics, and art, Berger follows Picasso from his childhood in Malaga to the Blue Period and Cubism, from the creation of Guernica to the pained etchings of his final years. He gives us the full measure of Picasso's triumphs and an unsparing reckoning of their cost−in exile, in loneliness, and in a desolation that drove him, in his last works, into an old man's furious and desperate frenzy at the beauty of what he could no longer create.

Pain and pleasure, ecstasy and horror fuse in this
splendid array of worldly parables from the pen of a master.
What if you were a double amputee, singing for joy on the
streets of New York . . . or a man who has actually held the earth in his
hands? What if you were both the god and goddess in one of the most exalted
erotic experiences in the universe . . . or the artist Correggio in the
bitterness of his most sublime work . . . or a serving maid dreaming of love
and luxury in a palace of death . . . or
a man on a fatal mission, treading a battlefield ruled by a dying god?
If you have the spirit and the longing to imagine,
come along on a journey to the heart of passion—where love and hate are mirror
images, where the alternating pulse beats of craving and denial define desire.
Only William Kotzwinkle's
extraordinary talent could chart such a course, could send his vision soaring
through so many forms of fancy. In Jewel of the Moon, he transcends even his own marvelous powers of invention to create a
cosmology of constant surprise—and irresistible enchantment.
