Synopsis
Leopold Sedar Senghor was President of the Republic of Senegal from 1960 to 1981, but he is also considered one of Africa's foremost poets. This bilingual volume collects his complete poetic works., Esta vez entraremos en contacto con auténtica poesía, esa que se nutre de las entrañas mismas de la tierra madre, brotando por las venas del artista para convertirse en la más pura expresión de la esencia misma de su pueblo y de su tiempo. En este volumen se ofrece una selecta muestra del trabajo literario realizado por Leopold Sédar Senghor, un intelectual destacado que fue, además, el primer presidente que tuvo Senegal. Este hombre nació en Joal, África Occidental Francesa, pero estudió en Europa. Durante muchos años ejerció el magisterio. Fue prisionero de los nazis durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Más tarde se dedicó a la política. Se le reconoce el aporte decisivo que hizo a la lucha por la independencia de su país. Aquí conoceremos su faceta mas íntima y espiritual. Completaremos así la dimensión total de un hombre multifacético y talentoso., Leopold Sedar Senghor was not only president of the Republic of Senegal from 1960 to 1981, he is also Africa's most famous poet. A cofounder of the Negritude cultural movement, he is recognized as one of the most significant figures in African literature. This bilingual edition of Senghor's complete poems made his work available for the first time to English-speaking audiences. His poetry, alive with sensual imagery, contrasts the lushness and wonder of Africa's past with the alienation and loss associated with assimilation into European culture. Translator Melvin Dixon places Senghor's writing in historical persepctive by relating it to both his political involvement and his intellectual development.
