Overview
Además de ser el gran poema del siglo XX, La tierra baldía es una obra esencial para entender nuestro tiempo. Con una dicción y unas imágenes rompedoras, T.S. Eliot sabe cantar la devastación de la primera guerra mundial, la adecuación del hombre a la ciudad como nuevo y definitivo exilio de la naturaleza, el deseo difícil entre mujeres y hombres, y convocar a la vez las voces del pasado literario de Occidente. Pero más allá del intimidante virtuosismo técnico y de la intensidad estética que el poema desata, en estos versos emociona sobre todo la desnuda humanidad que estalla en silencio.
Esta nueva edición especial, editada, prologada y traducida por Andreu Jaume, que también nos da su versión de Prufrock, el primer poemario de Eliot y referente indispensable para entender el resto de su poesía, viene a recordarnos la vigencia, la ambición y el ejemplo de un poeta, un crítico y un editor que consiguió crear una nueva visión del mundo contemporáneo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The great poem of the 20th century.
In addition to being the great poem of the 20th century, La Tierra Baldía / The Waste Land is an essential piece for understanding our current times. With groundbreaking language and images, T.S. Eliot knows how to narrate the devastation of World War I, man’s move and adjustment to the city as a new and definitive exile from nature, the arduous desires between men and women, and at the same time summon the voices from the West’s literary past. But beyond the intimidating technical talent and the aesthetic intensity that the poem unleashes, what excites the most in these verses is the raw humanity that explodes in silence.
This new special edition, edited, prologued, and translated by Andreu Jaume, who also gives us his version of Prufrock, Eliot's first collection of poems and an essential reference for understanding the rest of his poetry, reminds us of the validity, the ambition, and the example of a poet, a critic, and an editor who managed to create a new vision of the contemporary world.
