Synopsis "Spain, Take This Chalice From me and Other Poems: Parallel Text Edition (in Spanish)"

A major new bilingual edition of the Peruvian poet's work Cesar Vallejo is one of the best-known Latin American poets of the twentieth century. Challenging, intense, and difficult to translate, Vallejo's work has often been overshadowed by his fervent endorsement of communism. Noted scholar Ilan Stavans tackles the avant- garde poet's politics head-on in an enlightening new introduction that places Vallejo in his proper literary context, while Margaret Sayers Peden's new translation does full justice to Vallejo's complex literary style. Including Spanish and English versions of more than eighty poems that span the arc of his career, this volume is certain to become the leading collection of Vallejo's work for years to come.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

César Abraham Vallejo Mendoza (Santiago de Chuco, March 16, 1892-Paris, April 15, 1938) was a Peruvian poet and writer. He is considered one of the greatest innovators of universal poetry of the 20th century and the leading figure in Peruvian literature.

He is, in the opinion of critic Thomas Merton, «the greatest Catholic poet since Dante, and by Catholic I mean universal» and, according to Martin Seymour-Smith, «the greatest poet of the 20th century in any language».
