This beautiful en face edition, superbly translated by Anna Deeny, brings to English-language readers an indispensable volume written by one of the most important living poets writing in Spanish today. Zurita was a 24-year-old student in Valparaíso when, on the morning of the coup, he was arrested, detained, and tortured. Conceived as the first text of a Dantean trilogy that includes Anteparaíso (Anteparadise) and La Vida Nueva (The New Life), Purgatory is his anguished response to Chile's violent recent history.Political persecutionChilePoetryChilePolitics and government1973-1988PoetryElectronic books.Political persecution861/.64Zurita Raúl1049916Deeny Anna1973-1049917MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458828603321Purgatory2479296UNINA
