Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Este libro de poemas tiene como unos de los temas centrales, si no el más importante, será el amor. Estos poemas en sí mismos no gozarán de originalidad en la temática. Al fin y al cabo, el tema del amor es recurrente en las obras de la inmensa mayoría de los poetas. Pero en estos poemas no solo abordará la pasión, sea imaginaria o real, sino también por las metáforas que encierra, la virtud que se supone para el hombre o a mujer amar y ser amada, llegando a la conclusión de que a la postre amar es sufrir, pero es preferible probar ese sabroso veneno, a ser una persona que jamás ha logrado encontrar el amor. Aunque sea efímero y pasajero. Esta obra está estructurada en sesenta diversos poemas, entre ellos encontraremos amor, desilusión, pasión y soledad. En este hermoso recorrido también podremos detenernos a apreciar la calidez y la dulzura de ese ser tan preciado al cual adoptamos por el nombre de madre, la fuerza y rectitud de aquel que le llamamos padre. …
