Ricardo Jaimes Freyre
Ricardo Jaimes Freyre (born May 12, 1868 in Tacna , Peru , † April 24, 1933 in Buenos Aires , Argentina ) was a Bolivian writer and diplomat.
Freyre was born the son of the Bolivian consul and writer Julio Lucas Jaimes . With Rubén Darío, Freyre is one of the founders of the Revista de America, which was important for modernism . He was a Bolivian ambassador a. a. in Chile and the USA , taught philosophy and literature in Tucumán .
One of the most important works of early modernism Freyre created in 1899 with his first volume of poetry Castalia bárbara (1899), thematically based on Germanic and Nordic mythology , giving this world of motifs its own meaning, writing in suggestive chosen expression, with a high musicality of his language, entirely in line with the new aesthetic program. A diverse world of dreams and mysteries emerges.
With the poetry collection Los sueños son vida (1917), Freyre continued this with themes from Greek mythology and revolutionary Russia.
The scientifically based study of prosody and metrics, Leyes de versificacion castellana (1912), and the historical account Historia del descubrimiento de Tucumán (1916) are among his most important works. He also published some short stories in the Revista de Letras y Ciencias Sociales , which he had co-founded.
