Description

A seminal work in Latin America's modernismo movement, Ismaelillo is a first anthology of verse by José Martí, now available in a complete English translation for the first time. This accessible edition includes a critical introduction that explores the volume's historical and literary contexts, as well as issues of the translation. The 15 poems that comprise this collection demonstrate a poet-hero whose revolutionary spirit would ultimately lead to his participation-and subsequent death-in the conflict that freed Cuba from Spanish rule. Written during a period of personal turmoil, including domestic separation and exile, these poems showcase Martí's powerful voice and enduring legacy. This annotated edition provides a valuable insight into Martí's work, making it an attractive choice for readers interested in Latin American literature and poetry.
