Description
Luis de Góngora's masterpiece, The Solitudes, is an epic novel-in-verse that explores the human experience through poetic forms that were revolutionary for his time. This stunning edition features a new translation by Edith Grossman, capturing the breathtaking beauty of a work that has been hailed as one of the high points of poetic achievement in any language. In this poignant and introspective work, a shipwrecked man is transported from civilization to a natural world that is at once menacing and sublime. The result is an intoxicatingly lush novel that follows his journey into solitude, grappling with themes of love, loss, and the human condition.
