Description
Ruben Dario, the Nicaraguan poet, published Azul in 1888, when he was twenty-one. The slim book of tales and poems in prose and verse announced a new movement: modernismo, the first literary movement born in Spanish America. Dario became its acknowledged leader.
Azul mixes fairy-tale stories, sketches of artists and kings, and lush poems full of swans, jewels, and French polish. Its song-like style broke with the plain prose of the day and remade Spanish letters. Writers across the Spanish-speaking world took Dario as master, and Azul still stands as the book that started the change.
