Los zapaticos de rosa es un poema publicado por primera vez en 1889, en la tercera edición de La Edad de Oro, una revista creada por José Martí para los niños del mundo. Con un lenguaje sencillo lleno de bellas imágenes que contrastan la vida cotidiana de dos niñas que viven en realidades opuestas, Martí nos hace reflexionar sobre la compasión y el humanismo. Por su integridad y los valores que transmite, esta obra constituye un clásico obligatorio de la literatura infantil.

In 1890, the great Cuban revolutionary leader Jose Marti wrote his most famous poetry, Versos Sencillos, in a small town called Haines Falls in the Catskill Mountains of New York. Sincere and intensely personal in tone, these verses form a unique autobiographical expression yet have world-wide appeal.

This dual-language edition of Versos Sencillos offers both the Spanish-language original and a graceful English translation of each poem in the collection. The translation follows the original rhyme scheme where feasible but deliberately chooses meaning over form, staying true to mood and method. In addition to notes on the poems, this edition also includes the particulars of translation and provides a background for the composition of the verses, features lacking in earlier translations. An index of first lines, both English and Spanish, is included.

Tanto en las piezas mayores como en las mínimas, vemos a un Martí que aprende al mismo tiempo que instruye, que no solo enseña a pensar bien, sino a vivir una vida de autorrealización. Ese doble propósito, expresado en una de sus frases más célebres, sirve de estímulo a la lectura de Martí en nuestro siglo: Ser culto es el único modo de ser libre. Del prólogo de Néstor Díaz de Villegas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An exclusive collection of Jose Marti's writings curated by Cuban author, Nestor Diaz de Villegas, including Marti's thundering accounts of political imprisonment during his teens.

José Martí Estados Unidos en la Prosa de un Inmigrante is a compilation of fragments from Scenes of North America, as well as writings by José Martí for La Opinión Nacional, a newspaper in Caracas, Venezuela, submitted between 1881 and 1886. All of these fragments are set within the historical and social context, to which they belong, and analyzed as literary texts written in Spanish while Marti was living in the United States.

Marti chronicled sociopolitical events taking place in the United States at the turn of the 19th century. His writings thus offer detailed analysis of the scientific and technical discoveries taking place at the time, as well as his insights on cultural trends such as fashion, art, and social customs of the time. The historical events described by Marti find striking resonance in issues of the present day. He delves into issues of race, immigration, patriotism, identity, slavery, police and democracy, and even queer aestheticism, as well as providing unfliching observations regarding the figure and performance of the President of the United States and the democratic institutions of his time.
