Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"An exciting literary event." Publishers Weekly "Important and dynamic... Every young poet ... needs to read and study this book. The lessons found here will redefine poetic commitment." The Bloomsbury Review "Zurita is seen by many to be the most important poet in Chile and the inheritor of Neruda's legacy... An important book." Poetry Foundation/ Harriet "Beautifully produced, well translated, and as lyrically chilling as when it was first written in the shadow of Pinochet's ... dictatorship." Molossus

Reseña del editor:

Raul Zurita's "Purgatory", a landmark in contemporary Latin American poetry, records the physical, cultural, and spiritual violence perpetrated against the Chilean people under Pinochet's military dictatorship (1973-1990) in the fiercely inventive voice of a postmodern master. This beautiful en face edition, superbly translated by Anna Deeny, brings to English-language readers an indispensable volume written by one of the most important living poets writing in Spanish today. Zurita was a 24-year-old student in Valparaiso when, on the morning of the coup, he was arrested, detained, and tortured. Conceived as the first text of a "Dantean" trilogy that includes "Anteparaiso" ("Anteparadise") and "La Vida Nueva" ("The New Life"), "Purgatory" is his anguished response to Chile's violent recent history.
