Abstract

In "César Vallejo: A Poet of the Event" by Víctor Vich, the author provides a detailed analysis of key poems in Vallejo's works, emphasizing the poet's revolutionary approach to language and thought as a Marxist perspective on hope, justice, and solidarity. Vich argues that Vallejo's poetry constitutes an ethical force that calls for radical change and revolution, positioning the poet as a witness to transformative events that challenge existing ideologies. The book explores Vallejo's exploration of pain, language, and the political, drawing on theories from philosophers like Badiou, Lacan, and Žižek to illuminate Vallejo's work in the context of contemporary philosophical discourse.
