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 government1973-1988Poetry20th century chilean literature.20th century chilean poetry.20th century latin american literature.20th century latin american poetry.bilingual edition.chilean poet.chilean poetry.conflict.contemporary latin american poetry.corruption.cultural violence.dictator.hardship.military dictatorship.physical violence.pinochet.political literature.political poetry.postmodern poetry.postmodernism.postmodernity.spanish english.spiritual violence.translated poems.translated poetry.violence.Political persecution861/.64Zurita Raúl1514770Deeny Anna1973-1514771MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791689203321Purgatory3750178UNINA
