Los haraldos negros
€7,80di César Vallejo
“Los heraldos negros” es el primer libro de César Vallejo. Inscrito en el modernismo hispanoamericano representa, respecto a ese movimiento, una verdadera innovación dentro del discurso modernista: la personalidad del poeta se impone dentro del canon rítmico y temático de esa corriente, discute y expone su experiencia, sus percepciones, sus valores y sus creencias para librarse de sus ataduras y descubrir su humanidad desnuda. Vacía los nombres de contenido para poner en duda la significación tradicional del mundo. Libro profundamente ambiguo que se mueve entre polarizaciones, afirmaciones y negaciones. La edición que presenta Cátedra es la publicada en Anaya y Mario Muchnik, con algunas mejoras.
