Synopsis "Hojas de Hierba: Edición Completa, Selección de Prosas (in Spanish)"

Hojas de hierba es la gran epopeya americana y una de las grandes epopeyas de la literatura universal: con una voz tan vigorosa como sutil, canta el nacimiento de los Estados Unidos y su desarrollo como nación. Sus poemas recogen la bullente diversidad del país, sus heterogéneos pobladores y sus paisajes inabarcables, y su carácter indómito, irreverente, exento de artificios. Es una épica democrática, que arrumba los viejos principios de las sociedades europeas y las igualmente viejas estéticas que los ensalzaban, y proclama las esperanzas y necesidades del Nuevo Mundo, donde ricos y pobres, hombres y mujeres, blancos y negros, están llamados a ser libres e iguales, y los afectos imperan sobre los intereses. Pero Hojas de hierba es también el retrato de una persona, Walt Whitman, que vierte sus pasiones singulares y sus anhelos más íntimos en sus páginas: 'Esto no es un libro: / quien lo toca, toca a un hombre', escribe en un poema tardío. El amor por la naturaleza, la fuerza de su erotismo, la turbulencia de la vida en Nueva York y el abrumador ímpetu musical de su voz encuentran un eco dilatado en los poemas del libro. Para Harold Bloom, Whitman constituye el centro del canon norteamericano, porque toda 'voz que en nuestra literatura contemporánea se alza en soledad, herida o estoica, tiende a asumir tonalidades whitmanianas'.

Walt Whitman (1819-1892) is, undoubtedly, the most influential poet in American literature. He was born in West Hills, Long Island, the second of nine children in a family close to the Quaker creed. At the age of eleven, he finished his formal education and began working as an apprentice at the weekly The Patriot, where he would start writing his first texts. After working for other newspapers and magazines, in 1850 he decided to fully dedicate himself to poetry. Five years later, the first edition of the famous Leaves of Grass was published, consisting of twelve poems and whose 795 copies were funded by the author himself. The poetry collection aroused great interest and was widely distributed, partly due to the fascination it sparked in philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson. During the Civil War, Whitman voluntarily served as a nurse in Washington D.C., an experience he would capture in The Great Army of the Sick (1863) and Memories of the War (1875). After the conflict ended in 1965, he published Drum-Taps. While employed at the Attorney General's Office, Whitman continued to raise the pen to write verses like those of "O Captain! My Captain!", which, along with others, would complete the successive editions of Leaves of Grass up to the ninth and definitive, which consisted of a total of more than four hundred poems.
