Summary "Azul..." by Rubén Darío is a collection of prose and poetry written in the late 19th century. The work showcases the author’s artistic and poetic talent, reflecting a cosmopolitan outlook infused with the influences of French literature and culture. Through a compilation of narratives and verse, Darío explores themes of imagination, art, and the complexities of existence, leaving a distinct mark on Hispanic literature. The opening of "Azul..." features a letter of admiration and appraisal from a distinguished literary critic to Rubén Darío, expressing initial skepticism about the title and its connection to Victor Hugo's assertion that "art is azure." However, upon reading, the critic realizes Darío's remarkable originality and depth of thought, unfolding his surprise at the author's sophisticated understanding of the modern literary world despite having lived in Nicaragua. The critic acknowledges the rich influences that shape Darío's prose and poetry, noting how it transcends traditional boundaries and reflects a unique blend of creativity, artistry, and a profound connection to nature and human emotions.
