Sincere and intensely personal in tone, these verses form a unique autobiographical expression yet have world-wide appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This dual-language edition of \u003ci\u003eVersos Sencillos\u003c\/i\u003e offers both the Spanish-language original and a graceful English translation of each poem in the collection. The translation follows the original rhyme scheme where feasible but deliberately chooses meaning over form, staying true to mood and method. In addition to notes on the poems, this edition also includes the particulars of translation and provides a background for the composition of the verses, features lacking in earlier translations. An index of first lines, both English and Spanish, is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslator \u003cb\u003eAnne Fountain\u003c\/b\u003e is coordinator of Latin American Studies at San José State University in San José, California.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.33 x 9.04 x 6.08 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 14, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42723150692415,"sku":"9780786423866","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/ec38981ddcc2018f7209168b444da2e6.webp?v=1765098186","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/versos-sencillos-a-dual-language-edition-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
