«Antología poética» is an anthology of poems by Mario Benedetti, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (195 pages, in Spanish).
A journey through the poetry of Mario Benedetti, with poems that address the life of the urban middle class in twentieth-century Uruguay and themes such as love, routine, exile and memory. A colloquial and ironic tone predominates: humor, social commitment and intimacy combine in verses where the everyday becomes material for reflection.
The edition belongs to the El Libro de Bolsillo collection and includes a prologue by José Manuel Caballero Bonald; the selection of texts was made by Benedetti himself.
Aimed both at those approaching Benedetti's poetry for the first time and at readers wishing to gather a representative sample of his work.
Mario Benedetti Farrugia, was a Uruguayan journalist, novelist, and poet and an integral member of the Generación del 45. Despite publishing more than 80 books and being published in twenty languages, he was not well known in the English-speaking world. In the Spanish-speaking world, he is considered one of Latin America's most important writers of the latter half of the 20th century.
