Longing: Selected Poems - Softcover

Longing, Selected Poems

Softcover. 8vo.116 pp. Zustand: Very good to fine. The poetry of Jaime Gil de Biedma, the most original and influential Spanish poet since the civil war, is finally, after years of censorship under Generalissimo Franco, reaching a huge audience in Spain. His poems capture the mood of post-civil-war Spain and of cosmopolitan Barcelona, where the poet belonged to a celebrated literary movement within the antifascist resistance. His poems are ironic and urban, satiric and sensually Mediterranean. The maudit poet profiled in his poetry - defiant, self-mocking, with a nostalgic tango in the background - has become a legendary figure in the long struggle of the Spanish to emerge from the dictatorship modern and free. Translated from the Spanish by James Nolan. Artikel-Nr. 240
