This bilingual collection of Eugene Guillevic's work, chosen from six of his books published between 1942 and 1966, and translated by the poet Denise Levertov, introduces American readers to a highly-acclaimed French poet. Guillevic was born in Carnac in 1907 of peasant stock. He sees the profoundly austere Breton landscapes (and all else in life) not as incidental backgrounds, but as elemental, living presences. His poems embody his indignation at the use and misuse of some human beings by others--as well as his cold and clear understanding of historical process. Like William Carlos Williams, he has a sharp eye, and as Miss Levertov points out in her introduction, "the simplicity of diction, the plain and hard meaning of things without descriptive qualification, reverberates, in the highly charged condensation of Guillevic's poems, with the ambiguity, the unfathomable mystery of natural objects." In translating these poems, Denise Levertov has drawn upon the affinity that exists between her own style and Guillevic's. She has attained comparable effects of concision and clarity and has reproduced with great subtlety the characteristic rhythm and cadence patterns of the French originals.

A Wake-Up Call Every Man Needs
Format: Paperback
This book is a game changer. The Superior Men is direct, unapologetic, and packed with truth. It challenges you to step up, take ownership of your life, and embrace discipline, strength, and purpose. In a world that often tries to water down masculinity, this book reminds you of what it truly means to be a man. I found myself highlighting entire pages. It doesn’t waste time with fluff—it gets straight to the point and hits hard. If you’re serious about leveling up mentally, physically, and spiritually, this book belongs on your shelf. Highly recommend to any man ready to rise above mediocrity and live with intention.

Todos los hombres a partir de los 16 deberían leerlo
Format: Paperback
Así como dice, una guía espiritual, he visto como varias figuras públicas en Youtube recomiendan esta obra. No unicamente recomiendo esto a los hombres, considero también que las mujeres lo analicen y entiendan sus principios. Hablando del contenido, este explica muy bien conceptos que se han ido perdiendo en nosotros los hombres, su rol como persona masculina, su deseo de libertad y el mismo deseo sexual hacia las mujeres femeninas. Gracias a este libro pude descubrir una nueva área que no había visto dentro de mi, y me ha ayudado a darle rumbo a mi propósito de vida.
