{"product_id":"piedra-de-sol-sunstone-octavio-paz-9780811211956","title":"Piedra de Sol = Sunstone","description":"Presented in Eliot Weinberger's excellent new translation with the Spanish texts \u003cem\u003een face\u003c\/em\u003e, this is the 1957 poem \"that definitively established Paz as a major international figure\" (\u003cem\u003eSagetrieb\u003c\/em\u003e). Written as a single cyclical sentence (at the end of the poem the first six lines are written again), \u003cem\u003eSunstone\u003c\/em\u003e is a tour de force of momentum. It takes as its structural basis the circular Aztec calendar, which measured the synodic period of the planet Venus (584 days--the number of lines of \u003cem\u003eSunstone\u003c\/em\u003e). But, as The New Republic noted, \"this esoteric correlative design...does not circumscribe its subject. [It is] a lyrically discursive exploration of time and memory, of erotic love, or art and writing.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Octavio Paz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0811211959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811211956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.21h x 6.13w x 0.29d","brand":"Octavio Paz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994009174271,"sku":"9780811211956","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f1311336-4f01-4b46-a286-60d40e3cb918.jpg?v=1683327587","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/piedra-de-sol-sunstone-octavio-paz-9780811211956","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
