Waiting for Robert Capa

book launch

ICNY welcomes the writer Susana Fortes, who will present her latest book, Esperando a Robert Capa (Waiting for Robert Capa), recently published in English by Harper Collins. The novel is based in the love story and professional relationship between the young German woman Gerta Taro and the famous photographer Robert Capa since they met in Paris in 1935 until she died in the Spanish Civil war in 1937. Love, war and photography marked their lives. They were young, antifascist, good-looking and nonconformist. They had everything in life and they put everything at risk. They created their own legend and remained faithful to it until the last consequences. Film rights to the novel have been purchased by director Michael Mann, who will soon adapt the story to the silver screen. 

In Spanish with simultaneous translation.
