Himna među ruševinama: izabrane pesme

Octavio Paz

Octavio Paz's collection of poems represents the essence of the poetic oeuvre of this Mexican Nobel laureate. Known for his deep reflection, Paz combines Mexican culture, mythology and universal themes such as love, death, time and identity.

The collection includes key poems from different phases of his creative work, including works from collections such as Freedom Under Oath and Sun Stone. The title poem, Hymn Among the Ruins, symbolically explores the cyclical nature of history and the spiritual search for meaning amidst chaos. Paz’s poetry is characterized by rich imagery, philosophical depth, and rhythmic musicality, often imbued with Eastern and surrealist influences.

Prelević’s translation faithfully conveys the complexity of Paz’s language, while preserving its lyricism and intellectual sharpness. The collection reveals Paz’s ability to make universal themes intimate, connecting the personal with the collective. This edition offers readers an insight into one of the most significant poets of the 20th century, whose verses are characterized by a search for transcendence and beauty in the transience of the world.
