Un poemario en el que Leonard Cohen trabajo durante mas de veinte anos y en el que ha volcado su saber, sus dudas, sus miedos, sus consideraciones en torno al amor, al mundo que nos rodea, a la muerte... Leonard Cohen es una de las figuras mas fascinantes de nuestro tiempo. Su voz rota y lenosa ha cantado todas las miserias y grandezas de la condicion humana a lo largo de mas de cuarenta anos. Muchas veces se le ha calificado como uno de los mejores poetas del siglo, gracias, en gran medida, a que su talento musical ha ido siempre acompanado de una asombrosa destreza verbal. "Los poemas aqui reunidos vienen acompanados por dibujos del propio Leonard Cohen, haciendo de este libro un complemente imprescindible a sus canciones".ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Leonard Cohen wrote the poems in Book of Longing--his first book of poetry in more than twenty years--during his five-year stay at a Zen monastery on Southern California's Mount Baldy, and in Los Angeles, Montreal, and Mumbai.

This dazzling collection is enhanced by the author's playful and provocative drawings, which interact in exciting, unexpected ways on the page with poetry that is timeless, meditative, and often darkly humorous. An international sensation, Book of Longing contains all the elements that have brought Cohen's artistry with language worldwide recognition.
