A pocket-size encyclopedia, this slim book is an illustrated overview of the life and times of Goya, his youth in Saragossa, days at the Royal court and, especially, his now-famous painterly response to the sacking of Madrid by the French. It's an illuminating portrait of 18th-century Madrid featuring reproductions of Goya's most famous paintings now on display at the Prado Museum.  (SPN35, $12.95)
