{"product_id":"purgatory-19","title":"Purgatory","description":"Raul Zurita's \"Purgatory\", a landmark in contemporary Latin American poetry, records the physical, cultural, and spiritual violence perpetrated against the Chilean people under Pinochet's military dictatorship (1973-1990) in the fiercely inventive voice of a postmodern master. This beautiful en face edition, superbly translated by Anna Deeny, brings to English-language readers an indispensable volume written by one of the most important living poets writing in Spanish today. Zurita was a 24-year-old student in Valparaiso when, on the morning of the coup, he was arrested, detained, and tortured. Conceived as the first text of a \"Dantean\" trilogy that includes \"Anteparaiso\" (\"Anteparadise\") and \"La Vida Nueva\" (\"The New Life\"), \"Purgatory\" is his anguished response to Chile's violent recent history.","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251189928280,"sku":"9780520259737","price":31.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780520259737.jpg?v=1770270340","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/purgatory-19","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
