De América a España: Poemas de Lida Sal de Almudena Guzmán

Abstract

In 1981 at the age of sixteen Almudena Guzmán (Navacerrada, 1964) published his first book, Poemas de Lida Sal. The objective of this work is to study the inaugural work of Guzman as confirmation of the third return of the caravels. Rodriguez Monegal identifies an early modernist landmark trip to Rubén Darío to Spain in the late nineteenth century and the first return and the vanguard of the twenties and thirties as the second. Prats Nuria Pons located the third return in the early days of the boom. It is the beginning of the internationalization of Latin American narrative. In Spain the third return is lived intensely. Pons Prats documents the new opening to Latin American literature using several indications: the policies of publishers, literary prizes, criticism in literary magazines and literary supplements, participation in conferences, workshops, book fairs, etc.. From the new democracy the third return becomes a two-way transatlantic bridge firmly seated.
