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 \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mcfarlandbooks.com\/cust\u0026lt;br\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the best works of translation...of Cuba's most universal and most-admired hero. - Hispania\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland and Company, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037988913495,"sku":"9780786423866","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780786423866.jpg?v=1750938495","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/versos-sencillos-9780786423866","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
