Azul… (1888) is a book of stories and poems by Rubén DarÃo.
Written while the poet was living in Chile, Azul… has been
recognized as a pioneering work of Hispanic Modernism that launched
the career of a leading Latin American poet. Both experimental and
traditional, Azul… blends DarÃo’s concern over the
sustainability of modern life with his abiding interest in the
myths and magic of ancient cultures. Infused with classical
symbolism, inspired by the myth and philosophy of Ancient Greece,
Rubén DarÃo’s Azul… bridges the gap between ancient and
modern. Rather than focus on the differences between the two, he
envisions the past as a living entity, allowing history and fantasy
to coincide with the social realities of his time. In these poems
and stories, fairies from the plays of Shakespeare appear alongside
the working men and women of Latin America. Dreams coincide with a
reality mired in poverty, labor, and passionless social climbing.
Poets and port workers sing and die in a city of ghostly beauty.
Azul… is less a book than it is an experience, and nearly a
century and a half after its publication it remains one worth the
taking. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally
typeset manuscript, this edition of Rubén DarÃo’s Azul… is a
classic of Nicaraguan literature reimagined for modern readers.
