In 1886 he went to Chile, where he published \u003ci\u003eAzul\u003c\/i\u003e (1888), his first important book of poems and stories. Later he lived for extended periods in Argentina, Spain, and France, and in these countries produced his best work: compelling poems of beauty, style, and dignity, especially \u003ci\u003eCantos de vida y esperanza\u003c\/i\u003e (1905). The perfection of form, exotic essences, and rich ornamentation of his earlier work give way in his most mature poems to self-probings and doubts, the anguish so characteristic of twentieth-century literature. But the hedonistic note, the quenchless appetite for life, dominating \u003ci\u003eAzul\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eProsas profanas\u003c\/i\u003e (1896) never die out, and are magnificently present in \u003ci\u003eEl poema del oto\u003c\/i\u003e (1910). Dar卲 has had a tremendous impact on Hispanic literature. He is one of the best examples of the poet who is true to his art as determined by his innermost impulses. His poetry has fertilized a whole generation of writers in Spanish America and in Spain, and even now his influence continues to be felt. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Miguel Gonzalez-Gerth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0292739702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292739703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.29d","brand":"Miguel Gonzalez-Gerth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946389668095,"sku":"9780292739703","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_46b7de39-2f0c-4ce8-960b-b1bbc5e3a71a.jpg?v=1681512871","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ruben-dario-centennial-studies-miguel-gonzalez-gerth-9780292739703","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
