Synopsis "Crónica de mí Mismo (in Spanish)"

La vida, la vida y nada más que la vida, eso es lo que encontrará el lector en este libro. El amor, la amistad, el alcohol, las fiestas, las calles, la exaltación, la alegría, los cuerpos, la belleza que sólo aparece a los ojos del poeta... y también, por supuesto, la guerra, la política, la enfermedad, el interés, el dinero, la vejez y la muerte que lo iguala a todos los hombres. En este volumen, inédito hasta la fecha en castellano, aparece por primera vez un Whitman absolutamente desconocido, íntimo, revelador, del que ninguna biografía ha dado cuenta y que resulta tan conmovedor y apasionante como, por momentos, desconcertante. Lo propio de un Hombre, escrito con mayúsculas, de una de las grandes personalidades de la cultura contemporánea. Un recorrido a través de cincuenta años y más de cien cartas dirigidas a amigos, amantes, familiares, editores, incluso al presidente de los Estados Unidos: en todas ellas, el poeta se desentiende de la literatura y la posteridad para expresarse con una franqueza extrema, generosa, acogedora, a veces dulce, a veces brutal. Pues para Whitman, las cartas eran, ante todo, sutiles mecanismos de relación, a través de los cuales amar y ser amado, cuidar y ser cuidado, y de este modo, en su correspondencia encontramos a un hombre plenamente inmerso en los vaivenes de la existencia y en la cotidianidad del corazón. Una autobiografía en toda regla, desde los días de juventud hasta la semana previa a su muerte, cuya lectura, qué duda cabe, nos llevará a releer una vez más sus poemas. Que se nos presentarán quizás ahora bajo una luz nueva.

View Author's Page
Walt Whitman (1819-1892) is, undoubtedly, the most influential poet in American literature. He was born in West Hills, Long Island, the second of nine children in a family close to the Quaker creed. At the age of eleven, he finished his formal education and began working as an apprentice at the weekly The Patriot, where he would start writing his first texts. After working for other newspapers and magazines, in 1850 he decided to fully dedicate himself to poetry. Five years later, the first edition of the famous Leaves of Grass was published, consisting of twelve poems and whose 795 copies were funded by the author himself. The poetry collection aroused great interest and was widely distributed, partly due to the fascination it sparked in philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson. During the Civil War, Whitman voluntarily served as a nurse in Washington D.C., an experience he would capture in The Great Army of the Sick (1863) and Memories of the War (1875). After the conflict ended in 1965, he published Drum-Taps. While employed at the Attorney General's Office, Whitman continued to raise the pen to write verses like those of "O Captain! My Captain!", which, along with others, would complete the successive editions of Leaves of Grass up to the ninth and definitive, which consisted of a total of more than four hundred poems.
