Summary

Rubén Darío es probablemente el poeta más importante de la lengua española en el siglo XIX y los ecos de su obra resuenan a través de toda la poesía escrita a ambos lados del Atlántico desde entonces. Fue el autor modernista más destacado y revolucionó forma y contenido incorporando a nuestra poesía ritmos y temáticas, muchas provenientes de Francia, que le dieron un nuevo aire. En "Cantos de vida y esperanza, los cisnes y otros poemas" encontramos la obra poética de madurez del poeta nicaragüense. En los tres libros en los que se divide se observa un autor más reflexivo y que, además de las referencias a la mitología, a la cultura clásica, y a un pasado idealizado, levanta la bandera de la cultura hispanoamericana frente a los valores y el empuje del imperialismo estadounidense, y reivindica también sus raíces y creencias cristianas. La musicalidad de la obra de Rubén Darío sigue cautivando, como lo hace la belleza de sus versos o la vehemencia con la que su simbolismo nos transmite historias, ideas y sentimientos universales.

Rubén Darío is probably the most important poet of the Spanish language in the 19th century and the echoes of his work resound in Spanish poetry since then. He was the main modernist author and revolutionized form and content by incorporating rhythms and themes into Spanish poetry. In "Cantos de vida y esperanza, los cisnes y otros poemas" we find the poetic work of maturity of the Nicaraguan author, a more reflective poet who, in addition to references to mythology, classical culture, and an idealized past, raises the flag of the Hispanic American culture against the values and thrust of U.S. imperialism, and also claims his Christian roots and beliefs. The musicality of Rubén Darío's work continues to captivate, as does the beauty of his verses or the vehemence with which his symbolism transmits universal stories, ideas and feelings.
