Synopsis "Dias Ejemplares (in Spanish)"

Walt Whitman / Las primeras páginas son casi reproducción textual de una carta mía de enero de 1882 a un insistente amigo. A continuación de ellas ofrezco algunas tristes experiencias. La guerra de (intentada) secesión ha sido, lógicamente, el suceso primordial de mi tiempo. Yo empecé a visitar a los enfermos y heridos del ejército a fines de 1862 y continué sin descanso en 1863, 1864 y 1865, tanto en el frente como en los hospitales de Washington y sus alrededores. Desde el principio llevaba una libreta para apuntar en el momento, a lápiz, los nombres y circunstancias, lo que hacía más falta, etc., y así refrescar mi memoria. Los transcribo, tal como los guardé después de la guerra, borroneados con más de una mancha de sangre, escritos apresuradamente, a veces en la clínica, con frecuencia en medio de la excitación y la incertidumbre, o en la derrota, o en la acción, o preparándome para marchar a la acción. La mayor parte de las páginas son copia fiel de aquellas espeluznantes libretitas manchadas de sangre. Muy distintas son las memorias que les siguen. Supongo que publico todo este conjunto, primero, por esa eterna tendencia a perpetuarse que hay en toda la naturaleza incluyendo a los escritores; y segundo para simbolizar dos o tres momentos ejemplares ?personales e impersonales? de entre los miles de mi tiempo, la parte media del siglo XIX en el Nuevo Mundo; un tiempo extraño, desencadenado, maravilloso. Pero el libro probablemente no tiene ningún propósito definido que pueda expresarse en una frase.

View Author's Page
Walt Whitman (1819-1892) is, undoubtedly, the most influential poet in American literature. He was born in West Hills, Long Island, the second of nine children in a family close to the Quaker creed. At the age of eleven, he finished his formal education and began working as an apprentice at the weekly The Patriot, where he would start writing his first texts. After working for other newspapers and magazines, in 1850 he decided to fully dedicate himself to poetry. Five years later, the first edition of the famous Leaves of Grass was published, consisting of twelve poems and whose 795 copies were funded by the author himself. The poetry collection aroused great interest and was widely distributed, partly due to the fascination it sparked in philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson. During the Civil War, Whitman voluntarily served as a nurse in Washington D.C., an experience he would capture in The Great Army of the Sick (1863) and Memories of the War (1875). After the conflict ended in 1965, he published Drum-Taps. While employed at the Attorney General's Office, Whitman continued to raise the pen to write verses like those of "O Captain! My Captain!", which, along with others, would complete the successive editions of Leaves of Grass up to the ninth and definitive, which consisted of a total of more than four hundred poems.

El libro está bien traducido pero está incompleto, solo tiene la parte 2 donde habla de su experiencia en la guerra, falta la parte 1 donde habla de su infancia y la parte 3 que fueron sus últimos años
