Resumen
Cantos de Vida y Esperanza, Los Cisnes y otros poemas is one of Rubén Darío’s most mature and profound works, showcasing the full depth of the Modernismo movement he pioneered.
In this collection, Darío moves beyond the purely aesthetic concerns of his earlier poetry to engage with themes of identity, mortality, spirituality, political disillusionment, and the role of the poet in a changing world. With his signature musicality, classical allusions, and rich imagery, Darío reflects on the decline of old ideals and the uncertainties of modern life. This volume contains some of his most celebrated poems, including “Los cisnes,” which uses the swan as a symbol of poetic beauty and cultural rebirth.
A cornerstone of Spanish-language poetry, this book reveals Darío at the height of his artistic and intellectual powers.
