Paperback. Etat : Good. He is so eclectic and heretical, that he reconciles us all in a theosophically cosmic and monistic synthesis - Jos Carlos Mari tegui.Published in 1928 to great acclaim, The Cardboard House was clearly destined to become a classic. Written during Mart n Ad n's prodigious adolescence in Barranco -a peaceful sea resort in the coast of Lima-, The Cardboard House is a visionary excursion through the crevices of sensation and memory, moving in a fluid poetic exploration that traverses swiftly from the social to the cosmic. Mart n Ad n's experimental style has been admired and celebrated by authors as diverse as Mario Vargas Llosa, Allen Ginsberg and Roberto Bola o; and The Cardboard House stands out in history as a major statement of the avant-garde movements in Latin America.This new English translation strives to preserve the experimental style of The Cardboard House in its original Spanish language, and intends to reestablish its importance as one of the crucial texts of the Latin American literary avant-garde.Mart n Ad n (Lima, 1908 - 1985), pseudonym of Ram n Rafael de la Fuente Benavides, was a Peruvian poet and writer whose body of work is notable for its experimentalism and metaphysical depth.

The novel presents a stunning series of flashes ? scenes, moods, dreams, and weather? as the narrator wanders through Barranco (then an exclusive seaside resort outside Lima).

Adán?s own aristocratic family was in financial freefall at the time, and, as the translator notes, The Cardboard House is as ?subversive now as when it was written: Adán?s uncompromising poetic vision and the trueness and poetry of his voice constitute a heroic act against cultural colonialism..…
