Synopsis "the book of martyrdom and artifice,first journals and poems: 1937-1952 (in English)"

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) kept a journal his entire life, beginning at the age of eleven. In these first journals the most important and formative years of the poet's storied life are captured, his inner thoughts detailed in what the San Francisco Chronicle calls a "vivid first-person account...Ginsberg's unmistakable voice coming into its own for the first time." Ginsberg's journals-so candid he insisted they be published only after his death-document his complex, fascinating relationships with such figures of Beat lore as Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs, and reveal a growing self-awareness about himself, his sexuality, and his identity as a poet. Illustrated with never-before-seen photos and bolstered by an appendix of his earliest poems, The Book of Martyrdom and Artifice is a major literary event.

Irwin Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997). Fue una de las figuras más emblemáticas de la cultura alternativa norteamericana. La publicación del poema Aullido (Howl, 1956) fue el detonante que consolidó la poesía beat y le dio forma concreta. Alma de la Generación Beat, reunió a su alrededor a Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady e incluso al escurridizo William S. Burroughs y luchó sin descanso por la redacción y publicación de sus obras. Fue figura prominente de la llamada «Revolución de las Flores» y el hippismo de los años sesenta, peleó contra la guerra y el racismo, difundió el rock, la alteración química y mística de los estados de conciencia como elemento cultural y se situó siempre en primera línea social y literaria, promoviendo las ideas libertarias y las nociones de espiritualidad y autenticidad, por lo que siempre estuvo en el punto de mira de las autoridades. Viajó por el mundo recitando sus poemas.
