The award of the Nobel Prize in Literature to JRJ, October 25th, 1956, guides us through the last days of the poet and his wife, exiled in America after the Spanish Civil War. Fifty years later, the author of this book has conducted a thorough research in the archives of the Swedish Academy, now open to the public.He writes a thrilling chronicle of the process of this award, with facts and people whose connections to his nomination were until now unknown. The book also includes a selection of letters to JRJ from friends and writers from all over the world. His joy turned into sorrow when his wife, Zenobia, died three days after the award.
