Libro del anhelo

"I have always thought that I am a minor writer. My territory is limited, but I assure you that I explore it step by step and very thoroughly", commented Leonard Cohen, the man who was and will continue to be one of the most fascinating figures of our time. His broken voice has sung all the miseries and greatness of the human condition and his words are more alive than ever. Many times he has been described as one of the best poets of the century, thanks, in large part, to the fact that his musical talent has always been accompanied by an amazing verbal skill. Cohen worked on this collection of poems for more than twenty years. In him he poured his emotion, his doubts, his fears, his considerations about love, old age, the world that surrounds us and, finally, death. The poems gathered here are also accompanied by the author's drawings, which makes this Book of Longing an essential complement to his work.
