Writer, journalist, diplomat and man of the world, he built a notable reputation as a bohemian artist and genius temperament, to which his own pen contributed many passages of a biographical nature. Based on exhaustive documentation, and avoiding fictional excesses and hagiography, this book allows a natural and complete approach to the person of Rubén Darío, in whose work several of the greatest literary movements of the 20th century are encapsulated, which on different occasions he foresaw and prefaced.
