Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

In this striking essay, Welsh historian Gwyn Alfred Williams relates Goya's work, from King's painter to exile, to the tumultuous upheavals that accompanied Spain's failure to consummate a bourgeois revolution.In a searching exploration of Goya's art, especially his drawings and engravings, shows the connections between Spain's cultural-political crises, Goya's recurring illnesses, and the growing genius of his work.Each of Goya's three major illnesses paralleled disorders in the body politic and that his second illness in particular, in 1792–93, transfigured his work into great art, deepened by personal statement and social comment.He closely examines the Caprichos and the world–renowed Disasters of War, seeing them as the very essence of Goya's idiom – satirizing and relentlessly pursuing the inner logic and profound contradictions between reason and unreason.These contradictions not only tormented Spain's quest for a necessary but impossible revolution but found a universal echo, being germane to the human condition itself.
