About the Book

Poesía meditativa, lírica, dramática y espiritual, Cuatro cuartetos, ahora traducida, anotada y comentada por Andreu Jaume, es una de las grandes obras de la literatura del siglo XX y constituye el gran legado moral de T.S. Eliot para el siglo XXI.

«Me habría gustado escribir Cuatro cuartetos, de Eliot.» --Vicente Valero, El País

Cuando parecía que su obra poética había concluido, T. S. Eliot sorprendió a sus lectores con la publicación, en 1935, de Burnt Norton, el primero de los cuatro poemas que conformarían Cuatro cuartetos, una obra completada a lo largo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y que supone la superación de la desolación, a la vez íntima y colectiva, que había descrito en La tierra baldía (1922).
East Coker, The Dry Salvages y Little Gidding ahondan en la meditación sobre el tiempo, el amor, la realidad, la muerte y la búsqueda de Dios que Eliot había iniciado en Burnt Norton, convirtiendo la secuencia poética en una averiguación radical que, partiendo de sus raíces, logra desprenderse de lo biográfico para elevarse a un estadio superior.

Con el fin de que el lector pueda hacerse una idea del camino que llevó a Eliot al alumbramiento de esta obra, Andreu Jaume ha traducido también los coros de La roca y Asesinato en la catedral, dos piezas para teatro con las que Eliot ensayó su nueva voz poética.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The last major verse written by Nobel laureate T. S. Eliot, considered by Eliot himself to be his finest work.

Four Quartets is a rich composition that expands the spiritual vision introduced in "The Waste Land." Here, in four linked poems ("Burnt Norton," "East Coker," "The Dry Salvages," and "Little Gidding"), spiritual, philosophical, and personal themes emerge through symbolic allusions and literary and religious references from both Eastern and Western thought. It is the culminating achievement by a man considered the greatest poet of the twentieth century and one of the seminal figures in the evolution of modernism.
About the Author: T.S. Eliot (1888-1965) nació en St. Louis (Missouri), estudió en Harvard y en 1915 decidió instalarse en Londres, donde se casó con su primera mujer, Vivienne Haigh-Wood, entró en contacto, de la mano de Ezra Pound, con los círculos vanguardistas de la época, publicó su primer poemario, Prufrock y otras observaciones (1917), y empezó a escribir críticas y reseñas en diversas revistas.

La publicación de La tierra baldía en 1922, así como la de sus ensayos recopilados en El bosque sagrado un año antes, le convirtieron en el crítico y poeta más influyente de su generación. Después de trabajar un tiempo en un banco, en 1924 fue contratado como editor en Faber, donde permaneció hasta su muerte y creó uno de los catálogos más brillantes de la primera mitad del siglo XX.

En 1927 se bautizó en la Iglesia anglicana y adquirió la ciudadanía británica. En 1930 publicó Miércoles de ceniza, otro poema largo, y en 1933 se separó de su mujer y regresó a Estados Unidos para impartir en Harvard las conferencias Charles Eliot Norton que conformarían el libro Función de la poesía y función de la crítica.

En 1943 publicó Cuatro cuartetos, la secuencia poética en la que había estado trabajando desde 1935. En 1948 ganó el premio Nobel de Literatura y en 1957 se casó con Valerie Fletcher, su secretaria en Faber.

Los últimos años de su vida los dedicó sobre todo al teatro con obras como Asesinato en la catedral (1935), La reunión familiar (1939), El cóctel (1950) o El anciano estadista (1958).
