Presentem, en edició bilingüe i en l’excel·lent traducció d’Àlex Susanna, els famosos quatre poemes de T.S. Eliot, un dels grans referents de la poesia del segle XX. Datats entre el 1910 i el 1940, Q

Tema de "La terra desolata" e la citta infernale, descritta prima da William Blake, poi da Baudelaire: citta diabolica dove, con il passare del tempo, l'uomo si trova sempre peggio. E' una tragedia grottesca che anticipa la poetica di Beckett e Fellini. Con la sua poesia, e in particolare con "I quattro quartetti", Eliot tenta di dimostrare che l'immaginazione (quella che per lui si incarnava nella poesia religiosa) puo, nello sfacelo del mondo odierno, riconquistare i suoi privilegi. Impresa pressoche disperata: costruire qualcosa dall'impossibilita, dalla mancanza, dalle rovine. Introduzione di Czeslaw Milosz. Testo originale a fronte.

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 virtuosismo técnico y de la intensidad estética que el poema desata, en estos versos emociona sobre todo la desnuda humanidad que estalla en silencio. Editado, prologado y traducido 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, este libro viene a recordarnos, cuando se cumplen cincuenta años de su muerte, la vigencia, la ambición y el ejemplo de un poeta, un crítico y un editor que consiguió crear una nueva visión del mundo contemporáneo.
