This book by José María Valverde explores the roots of literature, arguing that it is the full and lucid expression of what makes man be man: language. The author analyzes how language acquires poetic value and how the three major poetic branches (representation, narration, and lyric) are formalized in written literature. It also examines how literature arises from a tradition and how social trends threaten to reduce it to an abstract cultural duty.
José María Valverde Pacheco was a Spanish poet, essayist, literary critic, philosophy historian, and Spanish translator.
