A discourse on the connection between sex, eroticism and love in literature by the Nobel Prize-winning poet and essayist.

Octavio Paz reunió sus ensayos de los último años sobre arte y literatura, centrados no necesariamente en la actualidad más divulgada en los medios de publicidad, sino de la que vive al margen, lejos cuando no en contra de las corrientes en boga.

In/mediaciones

"One of the major poets of our time here probes and defines Mexican character and culture in a series of essays. Silence, irony, the formalization of social life -- these are the masks that permit the Mexican to conceal his personality. Far more than an interpretation of his own country alone, this book is also a penetrating commentary on the plight of Latin America today as a whole, an enlightening view of the North American -- "who wanders in an abstract world of machines, fellow citizens, and moral precepts"--And a universally applicable evaluation of the situation of contemporary man." [Back cover].

Contains almost 200 collected poems in both Spanish and English.
