A sly sparrow. A man dodging the rain. From such mundane, unexpected moments, Spanish poet Claudio Rodríguez crafted his 1965 \u003cem\u003eAlliance and Condemnation\u003c\/em\u003e, a collection of poems that temper the joy of existence—the “bounty that turns my flawed breath into prayer”—with a questioning of empirical reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn these pages are poems of love and hate, contrition and forgiveness, and the joys of sorrow and existence. Many of the poems are essentially parables that seem to address the immediacy of the world yet point beyond it toward philosophical and eternal values. The result is a conjoining of the real and the ideal, a frequent theme in Spanish literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMany of these poems bridge the distance between the Spanish mystics, among them Saint John of the Cross and Saint Teresa, and the nature poetry of romanticism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOf all his creations, the radiant poems in \u003cem\u003eAlliance and Condemnation\u003c\/em\u003e offer the best imaginable introduction to his extraordinary life and work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47462590939372,"sku":"9780983322023","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780983322023-alliance-and-condemnation-alianza-y-condena.jpg?v=1775017205"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/claudio-rodriguez.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
