Poemas Traduzidos

Translated by Jesse Lee Kercheval Eight years before Sylvia Plath published Ariel, the Uruguayan poet Idea Vilariño released Poemas de Amor, a collection of confessional, passionate poetry dedicated to the novelist Juan Carlos Onetti. Both of her own merit and as part of the Uruguayan writers group the Generation of ’45—which included Onetti, Mario Benedetti, Amanda Berenguer, and Ida Vitale—Vilariño is an essential South American poet, and part of a long tradition of Uruguayan women poets. Vilariño and Onetti’s love affair is one of the most famous in South American literature. Poemas de Amor is an intense book, full of poems about sexuality and what it means to be a woman, and stands as a testament to both the necessity and the impossibility of love. This translation brings these highly personal poems to English speaking audiences for the first time side-by-side with the original Spanish language versions.

El amor es más que un sentimiento, el amor es la causa y el efecto, y es por lo tanto la esencia de la vida. "El amor genuino no lastima y es un hermoso sentimiento por medio del cual podemos motivarnos a alcanzar nuestras metas"

John Keats (1795-1821) é um dos maiores poetas ingleses de todos os tempos. Foi decisivo para a poesia moderna e sua influência transcendeu a sua própria língua. Ligado a segunda geração de poetas românticos, geração que inclui seus contemporâneos Byron e Shelley, esta edição bilíngue traz para o leitor alguns de seus melhores e mais importantes poemas. Nascido em Londres em 31 de outubro de 1795, John Keats é sem dúvida um dos mais importantes poetas da língua inglesa. Costuma-se dizer que teria sido até maior que Shakespeare se a tuberculose não o houvesse levado prematuramente aos vinte e seis anos. Nos legou em apenas sete anos de trajetória poética verdadeiras obras primas como "Ode a um rouxinol", "Ode a um vaso grego", "Ode à melancolia", "No mar", "Escrito no cimo de Ben Nevis", "Ao outono", entre outras. No longo poema "Véspera de Sta. Agnes", os versos se sucedem num solene fluxo imagético, engendrado como uma insólita montagem cinematográfica. Em Keats, o preciosismo e a ornamentação de linguagem mescla-se à invenção verbal e à melissonância do verso como dificilmente podemos encontrar em outro poeta inglês. Esta tradução, caracteriza-se, antes de tudo, pela extrema fidelidade e alta definição do significado poético, revelando o profundo sentido filosófico que imanta estes versos. Apresentamos aqui alguns dos mais inspirados escritos deste poeta cujo nome "estava escrito em água".

Este libro es la historia de un amor prohibido. Es el recuento doloroso de un romance que no pudo ser. La autora pretende que el lector sienta en su propia piel la experiencia del Amor en sus diferentes etapas. La primera parte del libro es sobre el encuentro, el descubrimiento de dos personas que se enamoraron a primera vista. La segunda parte habla de cómo juntos alcanzaron lo divino y la tercera parte es sobre el alejamiento, el desengaño y por último el adiós. Esta es una experiencia muy personal de la autora que decidido compartir con el resto del mundo.

Thomas Gray's An Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard enjoyed extraordinary popular success in Europe, where it was widely translated, imitated, adapted, and in various ways assimilated into the continental literatures. The history of the Elegy's circulation on the continent demonstrates the importance of the poem to the romantic generation of European poets, while appreciation of this history serves to illuminate modern critical approaches to the poem's often uncertain or ambiguous meaning.

The widespread and culturally significant impact of Percy Bysshe Shelley's writings in Europe constitutes a particularly interesting case for a reception study because of the variety of responses they evoked. If radical readers cherished the 'red' Shelley, others favoured the lyrical poet, whose work was, like Byron's, anthologized and set to music. His major dramatic works, The Cenci and Prometheus Unbound, inspired numerous fin-de-siècle and expressionist dramatists and producers from Paris to Moscow. Shelley was read by, and influenced, the novelist Stendhal, the political theorist Engels, the Spanish symbolist Jiménez, and the Russian modernist poet Akhmatova. This exciting collection of essays by an international team of leading scholars considers translations, critical and biographical reviews, fictionalizations of his life, and other creative responses. It probes into transnational cross-currents to demonstrate the depth of Shelley's impact on European culture since his death in 1822. It will be an indispensable research resource for academics, critics, and writers with interests in Romanticism and its legacies.
