Synopsis "Hyperion (in Basque)"

Hölderlin euskaratzeko esperantzarik gabeko zeregina sortu zen egun batez, konpainia on batean, euskaldunik baizen ez zen lekuan. Baina ez zuen solasak ekarri, ez zen perpausa izan. Ez. Neronek aipatu nuen nola deusek ez duen hainbat kalte egiten euskal irakurlearen arimarako nola poeta handi zenbaiten itzulpenaren ausentziak. Hitz deskontsideratu horiek eraman ninduten galbidera, eta zertako sartzen naizen ni itsas hondar gabe honetan neure buruari mila eta bi aldiz galdetzen nion ordurako, beranduegia zen. Baina sartu banintzen, sartu nintzen. Eta hona, irakurle kuriosoa, uzta eskas hau zure eskuetara iristen deneko eguna. Poesia honen egilea, Friedrich Hölderlin, oso patu poetiko eta tragikopean suertatu da.

Friedrich Holderlin

(Author)

Friedrich Hölderlin (1770–1843) was a German poet, novelist, and philosopher, considered one of the most important figures of Romanticism and German idealism. He was born on March 20, 1770, in Lauffen am Neckar, in southwestern Germany. His childhood was marked by the premature death of his father, after which he was raised by his mother and stepfather. He studied Theology at the seminary in Tübingen, where he befriended future thinkers such as Hegel and Schelling.

Although initially destined for the religious ministry, Hölderlin leaned towards literature and philosophy. His work combines influences from Greek classicism, German idealist thought, and a deep spiritual sentiment. His poetry, infused with references to mythology and nature, seeks a synthesis between the human and the divine.

His novel Hyperion or The Hermit in Greece (1797–1799) and his lyrical poetry—including odes and hymns—established him as an innovator of poetic language. From 1806, his mental health severely deteriorated, and he lived secluded in Tübingen, under the care of a family friend, until his death in 1843.

Hölderlin was virtually forgotten in his lifetime, but his legacy influenced modern poets such as Rilke, Celan, and Heidegger.
