An epic masterpiece of world literature, in a magnificent new translation by one
of the most acclaimed translators of our time.
A towering figure of the Renaissance, Luis de Góngora pioneered poetic forms so
radically different from the dominant aesthetic of his time that he was derided
as "the Prince of Darkness." The Solitudes, his magnum opus, is an
intoxicatingly lush novel-in-verse that follows the wanderings of a shipwrecked
man who has been spurned by his lover. Wrenched from civilization and its
attendant madness, the desolate hero is transported into a natural world that is
at once menacing and sublime. In this stunning edition Edith Grossman captures
the breathtaking beauty of a work that represents one of the high points of
poetic achievement in any language.
