The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

A bilingual and annotated edition of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's masterpiece, 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner'. The volume includes the original English text alongside its Spanish translation and a critical prologue by Carlos Vaquerizo. The poem recounts the voyage of a sailor who, after committing the sacrilegious act of killing an albatross, is condemned by supernatural forces to a journey of hardship and remorse. The work is analyzed as a cornerstone of Romanticism, highlighting its symbolic richness, its mythical echoes, and its exploration of guilt, divine justice, and the struggle between human will and fate.
