English to Spanish: Pat Barker's Regeneration trilogy General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English Billy Prior’s life develops at the time of World War I within an extremely conflictive social and personal frame. The violence he witnesses at home, his awareness of class difference within the English social system, his experience as an abused child, his practice of sexuality, his life at the front and his exchanges with authority through the doctor-patient relationship he establishes with dr. Rivers show him to us as an unsatisfied hero and give us the clues of the many aspects in his society that were evidencing fractures and need of improvement. At the same time, at a macro level, these aspects that were demanding renewal, can be taken as signs of how the ideals of the Age of Reason were not leading anywhere and that a new concept of man was starting to emerge.
Translation - Spanish La vida de Billy Prior se desenvuelve en tiempos de la primera guerra europea en un marco extremadamente conflictivo desde el punto de vista social y personal. Testigo de violencia familiar, totalmente consciente de la diferencia de clases dentro de la sociedad inglesa, abusado sexualmente desde temprana edad, adulto sexualmente desprejuiciado, soldado en guerra de trincheras y enfrentado con la autoridad a través de la relación médico-paciente con el doctor William Halse Rivers, personaje histórico real de la novela, Prior se nos muestra como un héroe insatisfecho consigo mismo y que suministra pistas sobre los muchos aspectos de su sociedad que estaban en crisis y pidiendo cambios a gritos. A un nivel de análisis más general, estos aspectos que exigían renovación se pueden tomar como signos de que las ideas de la Modernidad con sus pilares de razón y progreso para todos no estaban conduciendo a ningún puerto seguro y de que un nuevo concepto de hombre estaba comenzando a surgir.
