Synopsis "Dias Cruciales en America (in Spanish)"

Walt Whitman nació en 1819, y cuando aún era un adolescente abandonó la escuela para dedicarse a oficios múltiples y sobre todo a vagabundear, a vivir la vida y aWalt Whitman nació en 1819, y cuando aún era un adolescente abandonó la escuela para dedicarse a oficios múltiples y sobre todo a vagabundear, a vivir la vida y a plasmarla en poemas que iba atesorando en su magna obra -obra viva y abierta hasta su muerte- Hojas de hierba (1855-1892).Días cruciales en América reúne diversas cartas y apuntes que constituyen una especie de diario de la Guerra de Secesión norteamericana, en la que Whitman participó como cooperante civil en el ejército de la Unión. El poeta curó heridas, asistió a los amputados, confortó a los enfermos, redactó cartas a los soldados que no sabían o no podían escribir, e incluso llegó a ayudar económicamente a alguno de ellos. No obstante, en medio de tanta desgracia, su bondad radical de hombre libre y fraterno lo eleva, aun en los momentos más agrios, a su particular esfera de la felicidad, que para él no es más que el disfrute de la vida, sean cuales sean las tragedias cotidianas. Pero en este libro tan fragmentario y espontáneo, también se nos muestra Whitman como un severo comentarista político, mucho más combativo que en sus anteriores escritos periodísticos contra las, a su juicio, corruptas monarquías europeas y los peligros que acechaban a la naciente República democrática norteamericana. De este modo, Días cruciales en América se convierte en un canto a la libertad política, al progreso y a la República, sin dejar de ser un texto en muchas ocasiones poético y siempre rezumante del glorioso y carnal sentir de los días.

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.
