La muerte de Adonais

los últimos días de John Keats, Percy B. Shelley y lord Byron

Valverde, Fernando

Between the winter of 1821 and the spring of 1824, John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron died, the second generation of English Romanticism. In their pursuit of beauty and death, escaping from conservative England, they found the sublime in a land of sea and mystery, Italy, where they discovered that the triumph of poetry was death. None of them knew what it was like to be 40 years old. The three sought love and literary glory, but a past full of shadows would haunt them until the end of their misfortune. Professor Fernando Valverde has built an exciting story that invites us to share those final years -with their concerns, sleeplessness, and emotion- with the three great protagonists. The result is an exquisite, literary, non-fiction tale that is, no doubt, also a moving tribute to the love of poetry and books.
