<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>El infinito naufragio reúne poemas, relatos e "inventarios" que dan cuenta de las inquietudes literarias que José Emilio Pacheco exploró e interrogó a lo largo de más de medio siglo de escritura. El lenguaje, la Historia como figura de reverencia y terror, la música, la naturaleza, la capacidad humana para la destrucción, la memoria, los naufragios --ancestrales y ordinarios-- se dan cita en un volumen que muestra, tanto a los más experimentados como a las nuevas generaciones de lectores, que la de Pacheco es una obra llena de pasión por el mundo y de asombro ante su fugacidad. Siempre renovada por obra del lector, la suya es una de las voces imprescindibles y entrañables de la literatura en lengua castellana. <p/> El infinito naufragio <i>brings together poems and stories that account for the literary concerns that José Emilio Pacheco explored and interrogated throughout more than half a century of writing.
