En las orillas del Sar is the final poetry collection by Rosalía de Castro, originally published in 1884. A cornerstone of Spanish Romanticism, this work is characterized by its anguished and radical voice, offering a profound treatise on desolation through 98 poems that question existence and faith. Despite its bucolic title, the book is a key work that anticipates 20th-century poetry, often compared in significance to Bécquer's Rimas.
This edition, published by Averso Poesía, presents the text entirely in Spanish. The work reflects the author's literary maturity, who, shaped by her origins and personal history, managed to transform pain into a universal lyrical expression that remains an essential reference in Spanish literature.
María Rosalía Rita de Castro, was a Galician poet and novelist, considered one of the most important figures of the 19th-century Spanish literature and modern lyricism. Widely regarded as the greatest Galician cultural icon, she was a leading figure in the emergence of the literary Galician language. Through her work, she projected multiple emotions, including the yearning for the celebration of Galician identity and culture, and female empowerment. She is credited with challenging the traditional female writer archetype.
