Poet Rubén Darío, “the universal Nicaraguan,”
was also a passionate reader of European culture
at a time when the old world was going through
a period of accelerated transformations.
Today, with the whole world doing the same,
our “inevitable fellow countryman” Darío
can teach us a lot via his critical eye,
his desire to study things from all perspectives,
and his provocative spirit.
