{"product_id":"mexican-poetry-octavio-paz-9780802151865","title":"Mexican Poetry: An Anthology","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe renowned Mexican poet and critic Octavio Paz assembled this important anthology--the first of its kind in English translation--with a keen sense of what is both representative and universal in Mexican poetry. His informative introduction places the thirty-five selected poets within a literary and historical context that spans four centuries (1521-1910). This accomplished translation is the work of the young Samuel Beckett, just out of Trinity College, who had been awarded a grant by UNESCO to collaborate with Paz on the project.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotable among the writers who appear in this anthology are Bernardo de Balbuena (1561-1627), a master of the baroque period who celebrated the exuberant atmosphere and wealth of the New World; Juan Ru坥 de Alarc (1581?-1639), who became one of Spain's great playwrights; and Sor Juana In駸 de la Cruz (1651-1695), the beautiful nun whose passionate lyric poetry, written within her convent's walls, has made her, three hundred years later, a proto-feminist literary heroine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a major collection of Mexican poetry from its beginnings until the modern period, compiled and translated by two giants of world literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Octavio Paz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802151868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802151865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.23h x 5.51w x 0.64d","brand":"Octavio Paz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047472394495,"sku":"9780802151865","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d5891ea-c550-4268-928f-79b479a0dad5.jpg?v=1684990408","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mexican-poetry-octavio-paz-9780802151865","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
