Three Huge Novels

Autor Vicente Huidobro, Hans Arp
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 iun 2020
In 1931, while on holiday in Arcachon, Huidobro and the Franco-German artist and writer, Hans (Jean) Arp together wrote Tres novelas exemplares (Three Exemplary Novels - no doubt a reference to the Exemplary Novels by Cervantes, to which of course they bear no resemblance at all), a set of wild quasi-surrealist "stories". In 1932, Huidobro offered the set to a publisher in Barcelona, but was told that the book was too short. Accordingly he wrote two further stories on his own, and the whole volume was then titled Tres inmensas novelas. Which are therefore, not three, not huge and also not novels. Nothing came of a publication in Spain at that stage, and the book was to appear in 1935 Santiago, Huidobro by then having returned to his homeland. This volume offers all five stories in a bilingual format, and the cover is almost a copy of the one used in the first edition. The text is bilingual throughout.

Notă biografică

The Chilean poet Vicente Huidobro (1893-1948) is one of the most important figures in 20th-century Hispanic poetry and, with César Vallejo, one of the pioneering avant-gardists in Spanish. Originally from an upper-class Santiago family, Huidobro was fortunate to have the means to support himself and his family while he found his artistic way. After an early phase writing in a quasi-symbolist style in his native city, he moved to Paris and threw himself into the local artistic milieu with a passion, quickly becoming a notable figure, publishing two full-sized collections and four chapbooks in 1917-18, and a French-language selected poems in 1921. Influenced initially by Apollinaire, Huidobro quickly befriended both forward-looking French writers such as Reverdy, Cocteau and Radiguet, and the Spanish expatriate artists, including Picasso and Juan Gris. He was to reach his artistic maturity in 1931 with the publication of two masterpieces: the long poem, Altazor, and the book-length prose-poem Temblor de cielo (Skyquake). Two further collections followed during his lifetime, both published in Santiago in 1941. While he also published successful novels and plays, it is for his poetry that he is best remembered today.
