La Tierra Baldía

"La Tierra Baldía" ("The Waste Land") is a famous modernist poem by T.S. Eliot that explores themes of cultural decay, spiritual emptiness, and disconnection in the aftermath of World War I. It uses rich imagery, multiple voices, and references to mythology, religion, and literature to depict a world struggling with lost meaning and renewal. The poem reflects on the fragmentation of society and the difficulty of finding hope or order in a seemingly desolate landscape, ultimately suggesting that rebirth may require confronting and understanding these deep difficulties.
