«Poemas de la locura» is Friedrich Hölderlin's poetry collection, in a bilingual German-Spanish edition, paperback from Hiperión (176 pages).
In 1806 Friedrich Hölderlin was declared insane and spent the last thirty-seven years of his life in Tübingen in the care of the carpenter Zimmer. Almost everything he wrote then was lost; this collection brings together the 49 surviving poems and testimonies from his contemporaries about the poet's «dark years».
Poemas de la locura is number 4 in the Poesía Hiperión collection; the translation is by Txaro Santoro and José María Álvarez.
For poetry readers and scholars of German literature, especially those interested in Hölderlin's final period.
Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin was a German poet and philosopher. Described by Norbert von Hellingrath as "the most German of Germans", Hölderlin was a key figure of German Romanticism. Particularly due to his early association with and philosophical influence on Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling, he was also an important thinker in the development of German Idealism.
