--- Over het boek (foto 1): Wie was Don Quichot? Het leven van Miguel De Cervantes ---

The most enjoyable biography available of Cervantes... [2000-03-30]

Rafael Busoni's 1958 biography of Miguel de Cervantes is every bit as entertaining as the story of Don Quixote. Busoni also copiously illustrates Cervantes' life from boyhood to deathbed, war to prison, marriage to theatre career. Though told in the form of a novel, Busoni gave critical attention to the actual facts of Cervantes' life and while some dialogue or details here and there may obviously be told with some artistic license, the essence of the history is accurate to the core. Busoni actually visited many of the sites discussed in the book and for his time, may have been one of the most respected scholars of Cervantes' life and times. For anyone studying Cervantes, Don Quixote, or The Man of La Mancha (musical), this book is an invaluable resource into the man behind the legendary "knight-errant." Unfortunately, it's long out-of-print and library copies are few. If you can get it, treasure it.

Rafaello Busoni (1. Februar 1900 in Berlin - März 1962 in New York) war Graphiker, Zeichner, Maler und Illustrator von Theater- und Opernliteratur, Jugendbüchern, sowie Verfasser einiger Bücher.

Seine Eltern waren der italienische Musiker und Komponist Ferruccio Busoni und Gerda Sjöstrand, die Tochter eines schwedischen Bildhauers.

Busoni war in seinem künstlerischen Werdegang Autodidakt. Kürzere Unterweisungen erhielt er beim Schweizer Maler Eduard Stiefel (Aktzeichnen) und in der Radiertechnik und im Drucken vom ungarischen Radierer Ricardo Hadel.

Im Jahr 1917 fand in der Zürcher Galerie Tanner die erste öffentliche Ausstellung von Arbeiten Busonis statt. Ein fünfjähriger Aufenthalt in der Schweiz ist als Basis seines Künstlertums anzusehen. Nach seiner Kunstausbildung in der Schweiz arbeitete er in Paris und Berlin, wo er seine Reputation als Illustrator erwarb. In erster Ehe heiratete Busoni die Japanerin Hide; ihre gemeinsame Tochter Kiki wurde 1927 geboren. Hide verstarb 1930 an Tuberkulose, nachdem eine Behandlung in der Schweiz erfolglos geblieben war.

Die zweite Ehe schloss Busoni mit Hannah, Tochter des Anwalts Alfred Apfel, der Carl von Ossietzky im Weltbühne-Prozess verteidigt hatte. Hannah, langjährig mit der Familie befreundet, war ihrerseits Klavierschülerin von Hide gewesen. Im Januar 1935 wanderte das Paar gemeinsam mit Kiki nach Madeira aus und lebte dort bis zum Ausbruch des Spanischen Bürgerkriegs 1936. Dann kehrte man nach Berlin zurück. Im November 1938 wurde der gemeinsame Sohn Mario geboren.

Da man wegen der jüdischen Herkunft Hannahs nicht in Deutschland bleiben konnte, entschied Busoni, mit seiner Familie nach Schweden, dem Heimatland seiner Mutter zu ziehen in der Annahme, hier letztlich sicher zu sein. Jedoch nach nur sechs Monaten waren die Busonis gezwungen, wieder auszureisen. Im Oktober 1939 nahmen sie in Norwegen ein Schiff nach New York. Hier setzte Busoni sein Leben als Maler und Illustrator fort bis zu seinem Tod 1962.

Busoni illustrierte zahlreiche klassische Werke der Jugend- und Abenteuerliteratur wie Robinson Crusoe, Tom Sawyer, David Copperfield, Robin Hood.

First marriage married the Japanese Hide Busoni; her daughter Kiki was born in 1927. Hide died in 1930 of tuberculosis after treatment in Switzerland was unsuccessful. The second marriage concluded with Hannah Busoni, daughter of the renowned lawyer Dr. Alfred Apfel, who had defended the Carl von Ossietzky world stage process. Hannah, long-standing friend of the family, had been in turn, piano student of Heath. In January 1935, the couple walked together with Kiki out to Madeira and lived there until the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936. Then they returned to Berlin. In November 1938, their son Mario was born. Since you could not stay in Germany because of Jewish origin, Hannah Busoni decided with his family to Sweden, to pull his mother's home country, the assumption here ultimately to be sure. However, after only six months, the Busoni were forced to leave the country again. Instead of alternative Germany or Italy in October 1939 they took a ship in Norway to New York. Here Busoni continued his life as a painter and illustrator until his death in 1962. Rafaello Busoni acquired at an early age to travel to his father's side, a cosmopolitan look. At home he received diverse literary suggestions. Busoni was self-taught in his artistic career. He received shorter instructions at the Swiss painter Eduard Stiefel (life drawing) and in the etching and printing from the Hungarian Eraser Ricardo Hadel. In 1917, the first public exhibition of works by Rafaello Busoni took place in the Zurich gallery Tanner. The five-year stay in Switzerland is regarded as the basis of his artistry. This is followed by Paris, Berlin and joined much later New York. Here he won his first prize in the competition of a 'Limited Edition' clubs.
