Born in Nicaragua, Rubén Darío is known as the consummate leader of the Modernista movement, an esthetic trend that swept the Americas from Mexico to Argentina at the end of the nineteenth century. Seeking a language and a style that would distinguish the newly emergent nations from the old imperial power of Spain, Darío’s writing offered a refreshingly new vision of the world—an artistic sensibility at once cosmopolitan and connected to the rhythms of nature. The first part of this collection presents Darío’s most significant poems in a bilingual format and organized thematically in the way Darío himself envisioned them. The second part is devoted to Darío’s prose, including short stories, fables, profiles, travel writing, reportage, opinion pieces, and letters. A sweeping biographical introduction by distinguished critic Ilan Stavans places Darío in historical and artistic context, not only in Latin America but in world literature. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

About the Book In the foothills of The Adirondacks, a terrible evil is growing. Long buried in secrecy and The Mists of Time, a long dormant war between mortal enemies is sparked back to life when a girl unwittingly stumbles into it. When Taina Sierra leaves Manhattan for upstate New York, she had no idea that it would come with a steep price. Her only assets for survival: Silverado, Bullet and Gunn, her three, large German Shepherds—and they will do anything for her--- even die for her. The Girl Who Cried Wolf is a taut well-written tale of suspense. The setting of the story, the vivid characters, and the detailed dialogue make it a fun read thriller novel. As the characters develop and the plot thickens, the reader will be on the edge of their seat waiting to find out what happens. The author’s gory, gruesome details make it a can’t miss horror story!
El grueso de la obra en prosa de Rubén Darío corresponde a los artículos periodísticos que, desde su adolescencia, constituyeron, junto a algunos cargos diplomáticos, su principal sustento económico. De estas servidumbres, que quizá le impidieron abordar asuntos de mayor calado intelectual, se quejó con frecuencia el escritor. Esto no le impidió defender la dignidad de este género literario y reconocer las dificultades que entrañaba. En la mayor parte de estos artículos, Darío se muestra como un cronista de asuntos literarios, artísticos y de actualidad o nos ilustra acerca de múltiples viajes por Europa y África.

Después de Azul...(1888), Prosas profanas (1896) y Cantos de vida y esperanza (1905), Rubén Darío (Nicaragua, 1867-1916) publicó El canto errante, en Madrid, en 1907. Es el libro de poemas que resulta altamente significativo para entender la evolución lírica y personal de su autor, con este libro se inicia la vanguardia hispánica. Su autor se distancia de su propia estética del Modernismo, dando un giro hacia una poesía más sobria y coloquial, que ha de cultivarse durante el siglo XX.
Rubén Darío (Metapa, 18 de enero de 1867-León, 6 de febrero de 1916), fue un poeta, periodista y diplomático nicaragüense, máximo representante del modernismo literario en lengua española.

Es llamado «príncipe de las letras castellanas», esta obra es la historia de su vida escrita por el mismo.
