The literature of Lysimachus Chavarria Palma (1873-1913) establishes dense processes of cultural hybridization, which allows his writing to assume diverse transits: from the local to the international, from the intimate spaces to the deep objectifications, from the peasant landscapes to The chromatic symbolism, the joys pristine to the tragedy of his own death. In volume II his scattered poems and his essays are recovered, where he discovers a lucid member of the new Costa Rican intellectuality of the early twentieth century.
