a route in the century

We did not have a good biography of Octavio Paz in French, and this is now done through the translation of the beautiful book by Christopher Domínguez Michael, who read everything Octavio Paz, has known and met many many of its interlocutors.
A life in the century: the Mexican Nobel Prize was a great poet, but also a personality with a real power of attraction, and, of course, a public writer whose political positions have sparked much debate; against the current he chose, after his resignation from the embassy in New Delhi consecutive Tlatelolco massacre in 68, to move away from castro-Marxism.
The author hides nothing of the course of Octavio Paz, or his tumultuous relationship with Greco and his daughter and his meeting with Marie -Jose; design and receiving his principal works are well integrated into the work, somewhat dense but well reflects the fascination of one of the very greatest writers of the twentieth century.
Nothing replaces the reading of poems and essays by Paz, who spoke with great vision, this biography has the merit of synthesizing the "labyrinth" of the author's life.
