Verdadera vida

In this volume, Adam Zagajewski, one of the greatest poets of our time and an essayist and thinker of enormous importance, casts his clairvoyant and melancholy gaze on the past. The end of youth, the departure of loved ones and the horizon of one's own death only find comfort in memory, the refuge that gives the poet the opportunity to evoke moments of happiness, but also those of greatest sorrow. And it is that true life, the only one with authentic poetic potential, is the one that we candidly remember, appreciating our efforts but without forgetting the irrevocability of our actions.
