Written by Carmen Jodra Davó when she was only eighteen years old, the work is striking for its mastery of classical form and its ability to fuse literary tradition with a vital, disillusioned, and ironic outlook. This edition recovers the original text and enriches it with \"Hecatombe,\" a set of contemporary décimas that allows for a greater appreciation of the value of a work written from a position of independence and creative freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is built upon a profound knowledge of classical poetry and the Spanish literary tradition, but with a unique voice that challenges conventions. Through precise and formally impeccable language, the author approaches life from a disillusioned and bitter perspective, yet always tinged with irony. The writing becomes a territory of freedom where the weight of literature is equal to the weight of life experience. The \"Hecatombe\" addendum complements the original work with a series of décimas that reinforce the tone and intensity of the collection, offering a more complete vision of Jodra Davó's poetic proposal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe fusion of literature and life experience as axes of poetic creation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDisenchantment and bitterness as filters through which to observe reality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIrony as a tool to address the complexity of life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe re-reading and updating of classical poetry and the Spanish tradition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWriting as a space of independence and creative freedom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at poetry readers interested in contemporary formal lyricism, and at those who seek a young but mature voice that engages with tradition from a refreshing perspective.
