Summary, etc. The Mexican poet Octavio Paz is one of the outstanding critics of our time. "My passion is poetry and my occupation literature, he says, Why is he writing a book of this nature-an examination, a judgement of the upheavals of our age? The writer should be a sniper, he should endure solitude, he should know himself to bea marginal being. It is both a curse and a blessing that we writers are marginal" He remains a radical, but a radical who rejects ideology.<br/><br/>He has seen the world-as a diplomat, a traveller and a teacher. He has engaged clear-headedly in its controversies. It is Paz's rare distinction to write as an insider with passion and detachment.<br/><br/>He divides his essay into two parts. "The first contains five chapters on the changes of opinion and outlook in the nations of the Old World; the crisis of imperial democracy in the United States; its counterpart, the crisis of the system of bureaucratic domination in Russia; the revolt of particularisms, above all in the countries on the periphery; and modemization, its dangers and its difficulties. The second part looks in detail at Latin America.
