Discover the lost novel by the renowned American poet Walt Whitman, originally published in installments in 1852 in The Sunday Dispatch newspaper. This entertaining novel, full of crime and love, narrates in the first person the adventures of an orphan who must face an evil lawyer named Covert. With reminiscences of Dickens, this work was rediscovered in 2016 by Zachary Turpin, a researcher at the University of Houston, while studying the great American poet. This edition, unpublished in Spanish, features a prologue by Valerie Miles and is co-edited by West Indies Publishing Company & Jot Down Books.
Walter Whitman Jr. was an American poet, essayist, and journalist; he also wrote two novels. He is considered one of the most influential poets in American literature and world literature. Whitman incorporated both transcendentalism and realism in his writings and is often called the father of free verse. His work was controversial in his time, particularly his 1855 poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described by some as obscene for its overt sensuality.
