Love, women, and life

This book brings together the best love poems written by Mario Benedetti, one of the most innovative, amusing, ambitious, and modern poets in Spanish literature.

El amor, las mujeres y la vida (Love, Women, and Life) collects a selection of poems acclaimed by several generations, in which Benedetti pours out his conception of life. Love as compensation for death and as the main force that moves human beings, as a proclamation of existence, ranging from the erotica of the lover to the hope of the revolutionary or the gratitude of the friend. All of this shines through in verses full of faith, written by one of the most brilliant pens in Hispanic American literature.

“Love is one of the emblematic elements of life. Brief or extended, spontaneous or meticulously constructed, it is in any case a climax in human relationships.”
Mario Benedetti
