"Capablanca, leyenda y realidad" is a comprehensive biography on Cuban chess player José Raúl Capablanca y Graupera, detailing not only his life and work, but also the people who shaped him and their lives -- even providing a rendition of his paternal grandfather, José María Tadeo Capablanca's eventful life. At times, the work reads more like an adventure novel than a biography, exploring episodes such as Capablanca's last days in New York, how he was shaken by the beginning of the Second World War, and much more. Notably, a large collection of games and strategies is also included and carefully annotated. This title is based on a previously-published biography, "José Raúl Capablanca, A Chess Biography."
