While still full of rhetorical gestures from his previous symbolist (or \u003cem\u003emodernista\u003c\/em\u003e) style, heavily influenced by Rub駭 Dar?, the book shows the author moving into very new territory, if at this stage not fully able to cast off his previous allegiances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e It is fair to say that the book would today be forgotten, were it not for the author's spectacular later career, but it retains some interest as a transitional volume, albeit not as much as that demonstrated by \u003cem\u003eEl espejo de agua\u003c\/em\u003e (The Water Mirror), also first published in 1916, but written after \u003cem\u003eAdam\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eAdam\u003c\/em\u003e is a young man's book, embarrassingly so at times, as the author proudly sets out his stall, but it represents a major leap forward. With his claim to Emersonian influence, his dismissal of traditional Hispanophone poetry in the Preface, and that typically outrageous tone-one we will meet many times in his later works, where he shouts from the rooftops, \"Look at me!\", and lays into his perceived enemies-it's hard to ignore the fact that Huidobro was all of 21 when he began this poem. The sins of youth, indeed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vicente Huidobro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848617755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848617759\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shearsman Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.26d","brand":"Vicente Huidobro","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988607533311,"sku":"9781848617759","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_953ab99a-2603-4be1-a2b9-706e9d74a998.jpg?v=1683295372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/adam-vicente-huidobro-9781848617759","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
