Overview
La colección «Poesía portátil» reúne en esta antología los versos más representativos de Yannis Ritsos, uno de los poetas griegos más importantes del siglo XX.
«Portentoso creador de imágenes, su verso revela siempre las raíces del dolor, acaso para conjurarlo». —Jordi Llavina, La Vanguardia
Yannis Ritsos es uno de los grandes poetas griegos del siglo XX y una de las mejores voces de la poesía europea. Con una delicadeza excepcional, su lirismo se imbuye del pathos griego, y en sus versos, cargados de simbolismo, se hallan huellas del firme compromiso político fruto de sus años militando en el Partido Comunista. Violeta Gil, autora de Llego con tres heridas, nos ofrece en esta hermosa selección unos de los versos más emblemáticos del poeta heleno.
«Partiendo en dos la pena, igual que partían sobre la rodilla su pan de cebada».
