El universo fragmentado en cuentos

Il presente volume, tradotto dalla poetessa e musicologa Francesca Bellucci, comprende tre libri del poeta, romanziere e saggista paraguaiano Juan Manuel Marcos: “Poemi” (1970), “La Vigilia Accesa” (1979), riscritto e ristampato nel 2018 e “Poemi e canzoni” (1986).
