Paperback. Condition: New. Alda Merini is one of Italy's most important, and most beloved, living poets. She has won many of the major national literary prizes and has twice been nominated for the Nobel Prize--by the French Academy in 1996 and by Italian PEN in 2001. In Love Lessons, the distinguished American poet Susan Stewart brings us the largest and most comprehensive selection of Merini's poetry to appear in English. Complete with the original Italian on facing pages, a critical introduction, and explanatory notes, this collection gathers lyrics, meditations, and aphorisms that span fifty years, from Merini's first books of the 1950s to an unpublished poem from 2001. These accessible and moving poems reflect the experiences of a writer who, after beginning her career at the center of Italian Modernist circles when she was a teenager, went silent in her twenties, spending much of the next two decades in mental hospitals, only to reemerge in the 1970s to a full renewal of her gifts, an outpouring of new work, and great renown.Whether she is working in the briefest, most incisive lyric mode or the complex time schemes of longer meditations, Merini's deep knowledge of classical and Christian myth gives her work a universal, philosophical resonance, revealing what is at heart her tragic sense of life. At the same time, her ironic wit, delight in nature, and affection for her native Milan underlie even her most harrowing poems of suffering. In Stewart's skillful translations readers will discover a true sibyl of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.…

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. La poeta Luna Miguel selecciona en este Poesía Portátil los mejores versos de la mejor y más querida poeta italiana del siglo XX: Alda Merini. Nadie ha sido capaz como Alda Merini de ahondar en el amor y la pasión desde una visión tan cruda de su anverso: el dolor y la locura, la muerte y el abandono. Considerada una de las últimas poetas místicas, su genio poético despertó temprano, a la par que empezó a ser sometida contra su voluntad a ingresos en centros psiquiátricos. De estos episodios nacieron algunos de los versos más conmovedores de la poesía italiana moderna, escritos por una mujer que se convirtió en emblema de marginados y artistas, vagabundos e intelectuales. Querida por todos, comprendida por nadie, su poesía resurge ahora en la colección Poesía Portátil, una selección cuidada y vibrante que invita a descubrir la grandeza de una de las autoras que mejor han sabido transformar el sufrimiento en belleza. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. ¿Puede la virgen María ser una mujer con contradicciones? ¿Hay vida debajo del mito, una mujer debajo del símbolo? Alda Merini nos dice: sí, y más desgarrada que ninguna. ¿Puede la poeta dialogar, hermanarse, identificarse, rebelarse contra ella? Es casi una obligación si la poeta es Alda Merini, que no sabe entrar en lo más hondo de su espíritu si no es con bisturí, si no es dispuesta a desvelar las más recónditas zonas de su alma. Magnificat es la segunda entrega de una trilogía que comienza con Cuerpo de amor (Vaso Roto Ediciones) y se cierra con La carne de los ángeles (en esta misma editorial). En ellos Alda Merini despliega su particular erotismo místico, su agónico misticismo carnal. Alda Merini (Milán, 1931-2009) perteneció desde joven al grupo integrado por Quasimodo, Turoldo, Spagnoletti, Maria Corti y Manganelli, aunque desde el principio su inteligente y sincera voz de bisturí demostró su peculiar personalidad. Su primer libro, La presenza di Orfeo , apareció en 1953. Habitual en las quinielas del Premio Nobel, su poesía es una mezcla en la que están presentes el erotismo, el misticismo, la pasión y la provocación. Su obra, tan extensa como intensa, incluye títulos fundamentales como La tierra santa o Baladas no pagadas , traducidos al español por Jeannette L. Clariond. Este año se estrenará el film de Cosimo Damiano Damato Alda Merini: una donna sul palcoscenico. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Amor, locura, sacrificio y poesía. Estos son los mimbres de una narración a la vez lúcida y delirante que arrastra al lector entre los claroscuros de la locura concebida como estado existencial, como impulso creativo del que brotan la vida y la escritura. Fruto de una necesidad casi instintiva, estas páginas documentan la época más oscura y más luminosa de la autora: los años de su amor maldito por un hombre «austero, silencioso y temible», vividos entre manicomios y centros de rehabilitación mental, en los tétricos laberintos de la enfermedad mental, donde se esconden verdades tan profundas como insospechadas y donde retumba, dulce y desgarrador, el eco de este delirio amoroso. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
