{"product_id":"selected-writings-9780143039365","title":"Selected Writings","description":"Born in Nicaragua, Rub n Dar o is known as the consummate leader of the Modernista movement, an esthetic trend that swept the Americas from Mexico to Argentina at the end of the nineteenth century. Seeking a language and a style that would distinguish the newly emergent nations from the old imperial power of Spain, Dar o's writing offered a refreshingly new vision of the world--an artistic sensibility at once cosmopolitan and connected to the rhythms of nature. The first part of this collection presents Dar o's most significant poems in a bilingual format and organized thematically in the way Dar o himself envisioned them. The second part is devoted to Dar o's prose, including short stories, fables, profiles, travel writing, reportage, opinion pieces, and letters. A sweeping biographical introduction by distinguished critic Ilan Stavans places Dar o in historical and artistic context, not only in Latin America but in world literature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
