Selected Poems of Salvador Espriu Paperback / softback
by Salvador Espriu
Paperback / softback
Description
Salvador Espriu was born in 1913. A member of the so-called generation of '36-those who were in their twenties at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War-Espriu became a voluntary exile in his own land.
Writing in a forbidden language, hyperconscious of his historical moment, he took upon himself the task of saving Catalan for his people.
In this bilingual edition, with a preface by the translator and an introduction by Francesca Vallverdu, Espriu's friend and Spanish publisher, Magda Bogin has given us a glimpse into a remarkable body of poetry from a poet whose literary stature in Spain is akin to that o William Carlos Williams and T.
S. Eliot in the English speaking world.
