While still full of rhetorical gestures from his previous symbolist (or \u003cem\u003emodernista\u003c\/em\u003e) style, heavily influenced by Rubén Darío, the book shows the author moving into very new territory, if at this stage not fully able to cast off his previous allegiances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e It is fair to say that the book would today be forgotten, were it not for the author's spectacular later career, but it retains some interest as a transitional volume, albeit not as much as that demonstrated by \u003cem\u003eEl espejo de agua\u003c\/em\u003e (The Water Mirror), also first published in 1916, but written after \u003cem\u003eAdam\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eAdam\u003c\/em\u003e is a young man's book, embarrassingly so at times, as the author proudly sets out his stall, but it represents a major leap forward. With his claim to Emersonian influence, his dismissal of traditional Hispanophone poetry in the Preface, and that typically outrageous tone-one we will meet many times in his later works, where he shouts from the rooftops, \"Look at me!\", and lays into his perceived enemies-it's hard to ignore the fact that Huidobro was all of 21 when he began this poem. The sins of youth, indeed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.26 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 30, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42707919470655,"sku":"9781848617759","price":24.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/2c5eec8c090fc1f8ab7bc09dc7c449fa.webp?v=1765045923","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/adam-paperback-1","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
