César Abraham Vallejo Mendoza (March 16, 1892 – April 15, 1938) was a Peruvian poet. Although he published only three books of poetry during his lifetime, he is considered one of the great poetic innovators of the 20th century in any language. Always a step ahead of literary currents, each of his books was distinct from the others, and, in its own sense, revolutionary. Thomas Merton called him "the greatest universal poet since Dante". The late British poet, critic and biographer Martin Seymour-Smith, a leading authority on world literature, called Vallejo "...the greatest twentieth-century poet in any language."

Clayton Eshleman and José Rubia Barcia's translation of The Complete Posthumous Poetry of César Vallejo won the National Book Award for translation in 1979.

Life[link]

Monument to César Vallejo at National University of San Marcos, where he studied.

César Vallejo was born the youngest of eleven children in Santiago de Chuco, a remote village in the Peruvian Andes. He studied literature at University of Trujillo in Trujillo. Lack of funds forced him to withdraw from his studies for a time and work at a sugar plantation, the Roma Hacienda, where he witnessed the exploitation of agrarian workers firsthand, an experience which would have an important impact on his politics and aesthetics. Vallejo received a BA in Spanish literature in 1915, the same year that he became acquainted with the bohemia of Trujillo, in particular with APRA co-founders Antenor Orrego and Victor Raul Haya de la Torre.

In 1916 Vallejo moved to Lima, where he studied at National University of San Marcos, read, worked as a schoolteacher, and came into contact with artistic and political avant-garde. While in Lima he also produced his first poetry collection, Los Heraldos Negros. Despite its publication year of 1918, the book was actually published a year later. It is also heavily infuenced by the poetry and other writings of fellow Peruvian Manuel González Prada, who had only recently died. Vallejo then suffered a number of calamities over the next few years: he refused to marry a woman with whom he had an affair and thus lost his teaching post, his mother died in 1920, and he went to prison for 105 days for alleged intellectual instigation of a partisan skirmish in his hometown, Santiago de Chuco. Nonetheless, 1922 he published his second volume of poetry, Trilce, which is still considered one of the most radically avant-garde poetry collections in the Spanish language. After publishing the short story collections Escalas melografiadas and Fabla salvaje in 1923, Vallejo emigrated to Europe under the threat of further incarceration and remained there until his death in Paris in 1938.

His European years found him living in dire poverty in Paris, with the exception of three trips to the USSR and a couple of years in the early 1930s spent in exile in Spain. In 1926 he met his first French mistress, Henriette Maisse, with whom he lived until a breakup in October 1928. In 1927 he had formally met Georgette Marie Philippart Travers (see Georgette Vallejo), whom he had seen when she was 17 and lived in his neighborhood. This was also the year of his first trip to Russia. They eventually became lovers, much to the dismay of her mother. Georgette traveled with him to Spain the end of December 1930 and returned in January 1932. In 1930 the Spanish government awarded him a modest author's grant. When he returned to Paris, he also went on to Russia to participate in the International Congress of Writers' Solidarity towards the Soviet Regime (not to be confused with the First Congress of Soviet Writers of 1934, which solidified the parameters for Socialist Realism). Back in París Vallejo married Georgette Philippart in 1934. His wife remained a controversial figure concerning the publication of Vallejo's works for many years after his death.

A regular cultural contributor to weeklies in Lima, Vallejo also sent sporadic articles to newspapers and magazines in other parts of Latin America, Spain, Italy, and France. His USSR trips also led to two books of reportage he was able to get published early in the 1930s. Vallejo also prepared several theatrical works never performed during his lifetime, among them his drama Colacho Hermanos, o Los Presidentes de America, which shares content with another work he completed during this period, the socialist-realist novel El Tungsteno. He even wrote a children's book, Paco Yunque. After becoming emotionally and intellectually involved in the Spanish Civil War, Vallejo had a final burst of poetic activity in the late 1930s, producing two books of poetry (both published posthumously) whose titles and proper organization remain a matter of debate: they were published as Poemas humanos and España, aparta de mí este cáliz. He died on April 15, 1938, of an unknown illness now thought to have been a form of malaria, an event fictionalized in Roberto Bolaño's novel Monsieur Pain. Originally buried in the proletarian Montrouge cemetery, Vallejo's remains are now in the Cimetière du Montparnasse in Paris.

Works[link]

Los Heraldos Negros (1919)[link]

Los Heraldos Negros (The Black Messengers) was completed in 1918, but not published until 1919. Robert Bly, in the 1993 edited volume Neruda and Vallejo: Selected Poems, describes it as "a staggering book, sensual, prophetic, affectionate, wild," and as "the greatest single collection of poems I have ever read." The title is likely suggestive of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, as the book itself touches on topics of religiosity, life and death.

Trilce (1922)[link]

Trilce, published in 1922, anticipated much of the avant-garde movement that would develop in the 1920s and 1930s. Vallejo's book takes language to a radical extreme, inventing words, stretching syntax, using automatic writing and other techniques now known as "surrealist" (though he did this before the Surrealist movement began). The book put Latin America at the center of the Avant-garde. Like James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, Trilce borders on inaccessibility.

España, Aparta de Mí Este Cáliz (1937)[link]

In España, aparta de mí este cáliz (Spain, Take This Chalice from Me), Vallejo takes the Spanish Civil War (1936–39) as a living representation of a struggle between good and evil forces, where he advocates for the triumph of mankind symbolised in the salvation of the Second Spanish Republic (1931–39) that was being attacked by fascist allied forces led by General Franco. In 1994 Harold Bloom included España, Aparta de Mí Este Cáliz in his list of influential works of the Western Canon.

Poemas Humanos (1939)[link]

Poemas Humanos (Human Poems), published by the poet's wife after his death, is a leftist work of political, socially oriented poetry. Although a few of these poems appeared in magazines during Vallejo's lifetime, almost all of them were published posthumously. The poet never specified a title for this grouping, but while reading his body of work his widow found that he had planned a book of "human poems", which is why his editors decided on this title. Of this the poet's last written work, it was said^[1]"... after a long silence, as if the presentiment of death might have urged him, he wrote in a few months the Poemas humanos."

Plays[link]

Vallejo wrote five plays, none of which were staged or published during his lifetime.

Mampar is the subject of a critical letter from producer Louis Jouvet which says, in summary, "Interesting, but terminally flawed". The text itself is lost, assumed to have been destroyed by Vallejo.

Lock-Out (1930, written in French; a Spanish translation by Vallejo himself is lost) deals with a labour struggle in a foundry.

Entre las dos orillas corre el río (1930s) was the product of a long and difficult birth. Titles of earlier versions include Varona Polianova, Moscú contra Moscú, El juego del amor, del odio y de la muerte and several variations on this latter title.

Colacho hermanos o Presidentes de América (1934). Satire displaying Peruvian democracy as a bourgeois farce under pressure from international companies and diplomacy.

La piedra cansada (1937).

Novels[link]

El tungsteno (1931). A social realist novel depicting the oppression of native Peruvian miners and their communities by a foreign-owned tungsten mine.

Towards the kingdom of the Sciris (1928) is a historic short story dealing with the Incan theme.

Fabla Salvaje (1924) Literally 'Wild Language', is a short novel which follows the insanity of a character who lives in the Andes.

The children's book, "Paco Yunque", was rejected in Spain in 1930 for being too violent for children. But after it was published in Peru in the 1960s, it became mandatory reading in the elementary schools in Peru.

Non-fiction[link]

Rusia en 1931, reflexiones al pie del Kremlin (Russia in 1931, reflections on foot of the Kremlin), first published in 1931, is a journalistic work describing Vallejo's impressions of the new socialist society that he saw being built in Soviet Russia.

Rusia ante el II Plan Quinquenal is a second work of Vallejo's chronicles of his travels in Soviet Russia, focusing on Joseph Stalin's second Five Year Plan. The book, originally written in 1931, was not published until 1965.

Reimond Orángel Manco Albarracín (born 23 August 1990) is a Peruvian footballer who currently plays for Al-Wakrah in Qatar. He came to prominence in the 2007 South American Under 17 Football Championship, in which he was selected as player of the tournament.^[1] He was instrumental in Peru's qualification for the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup in South Korea. His first cap for Peru was against Bolivia on 6 February 2008.

Biography[link]

Reimond Manco was born in the Lurín district of Lima on the 23rd of August, 1990. He moved to Venezuela and lived there from age two to eight, and again from age 13 to 15. While in Venezuela, he played for the Venezuelan national team in the under 15 division.

In 2005 he was bought by Academia Deportiva Cantolao, in Peru, and played there until 2007, when he began playing for Alianza Lima in his home city of Lima. He made his first appearance for Alianza on April 8, 2007 and his first goal December 2 against Coronel Bolognesi to win the game 3-2.

South American Under 17 Football Championship[link]

Manco went with the Peruvian U-17 football team to the 2007 South American Under 17 Football Championship that started on 4 March 2007. In the first match the team had to face the Brazilian national team. Peru won the match 2–1 with one goal scored by Manco and the other by Christian La Torre and a penalty saved by the young goalkeeper Hermoza.

After that match, Peru won most of the following matches and ended first in its group (qualifying to the last round) with Manco scoring another goal and shining for his team.

In the final round of the tournament (where the first four qualified to the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup) Peru won the first match against Venezuela but in the next match Brazil crushed Peru 4–0 and after that Colombia defeated Peru 3–0. By the fourth match Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina were already qualified for the U-17 World Cup. Meanwhile, Peru, Venezuela and hosts Ecuador had to fight for the last qualification.

For the fifth match, Peru had the obligation to defeat Ecuador, although the match ended in a draw, a result which took every hope for Ecuador to be present in the U-17 World Cup. For the last match against Argentina, Peru had to lose by at least four goals to be eliminated. In the match beforehand against Ecuador, Manco had been sent off in the last minute for two yellow cards. Even without Manco, the "Incas" were capable of drawing the match through a penalty and managed to get a place in the U-17 World Cup. Manco was chosen as the best player of the tournament by CONMEBOL,^[1][2] South America's official football federation. Despite his fresh footballer career, rumors regarding his transfer were already spreading. After the competition, he was reported to be scouted by big clubs such as Boca Juniors, Real Madrid, and PSV.^[3][4] It was later rumoured he had signed with the latter, though he had not at the time. Liverpool were also reportedly very keen to get the youngster's service.

FIFA U-17 World Cup in South Korea[link]

Peru started the World Cup against the host nation South Korea. They were very effective against them, attacking and counter-attacking very well winning 1–0 with a goal from Carlos Bazalar in the 29th minute via Manco's free kick.^[5] Manco could have scored the 2–0, but was brought down by a Korean defender, for which he was shown the red card, leaving Korea with no chance of coming back into the game.^[5]

Peru then tied 0–0 with Togo, in which Manco showed great skill.^[6] Against Costa Rica Peru won 1–0, again with a goal from Bazalar via Manco's free kick.^[7]

Peru went through to the quarterfinals with 7 points.^[8] Manco would shine the most against Tajikistan, where he did pretty much whatever he wanted against the Tajikistan defence on the flanks, and scored Peru's only goal, and his first and only goal in the World Cup. The game ended 1–1, with Peru winning 5–4 in the penalty shootout after Peruvian goalkeeper Hermoza saved the first penalty.^[9]

They moved on to the semifinals against Ghana who had defeated Brasil 1–0 in their quarter final match, even more meritorious considering Ghana had only 10 men from the first half against Brasil. Manco was not able to do much in the first half against Ghana, due to personal marking on him. He did better in the second half, creating a few chances for his teammates and eluding his markers, but Peru was ultimately defeated by Ghana 2–0.^[10]

Manco was considered one of the best players of the tournament, along with fellow Peruvians Eder Hermoza, Nestor Duarte, Carlos Bazalar, and Bojan Krkić, Toni Kroos, and Macauley Chrisantus.

Alianza Lima[link]

Reimond Manco made his debut for Alianza Lima on 7 April 2007 in the 2–0 victory over Alianza Atletico.^[11] He came on at the 86th minute, and became a regular in the subs. Alianza Lima's new coach, the Chilean Miguel Ángel Arrué, who became the new club coach on August 30, 2007,^[12] started Manco in a friendly match, where he was captain of Alianza Lima.^[13] Manco became a regular for Arrué, coming on to play most of the time, being subbed in. Manco brings a lot of great football to Alianza, aiding in many of the goals by causing confusion in the opposing defense. Along with opening goalscoring chances for himself and his teammates.^[14] He had his first game as a starter against San Martin on October 31, 2007, but was subbed out in the 69th minute. He played his first Peruvian classic on November 7, 2007 against Universitario de Deportes, assisting the third goal in the 3–1 win of Alianza Lima. He scored his first professional goal against Coronel Bolognesi, after a great individual play in which he took on defenders and finished "like Messi"^[15] He helped Alianza Lima take a 3–2 victory in a very important game in the Torneo Clausura 2007 on December 2, 2007. Alianza was at first losing 0–2 and he came on as a substitute.^[16] The game took place in the Estadio Alejandro Villanueva in Matute, Alianza Lima's home stadium. It was rumored he would leave in the summer transfer window and many clubs were interested in him, including Werder Bremen, Real Madrid, Internazionale, Manchester United, Chelsea F.C., PSV Eindhoven, Liverpool F.C., and F.C. Barcelona. He eventually signed for PSV Eindhoven. In Winter 2009, he was signed by Willem II Tilburg on a loan fee that lasts until Summer 2009.

PSV[link]

On 10 February 2008, it was Reported that Manco had signed a five-year deal with PSV in the Netherlands. He joined the Eindhoven-side at the beginning of the 2008–09 season.^[17] PSV stated that Manco is a "very young and talented quality player." On 6 August 2008, he scored his first goal with PSV during a friendly match against Newcastle United. He took over the number 17 jersey from fellow Peruvian Jefferson Farfán, who was sold to Schalke 04. Manco debuted in the Dutch 1st division against Heerenveen, with PSV down 2–0. He came in on the 81st minute and with the first ball he touched he turned the tide for PSV, who had been dominated most of the second half. He assisted Danny Koevermans with a cross and was an important element in PSV's attack, with the match ending 2–2, ending PSV's bad run of five away defeats.^[18] He went on to play the next league match and a Champions League bout against Liverpool F.C. before he was loaned out to Willem II Tilburg.

Willem II[link]

The Dutch national Champions gave him some time to get used to playing in the Eredivisie and loaned him to Willem II.^[19] Manco injured himself in practice however after only about 2 weeks with Willem and lost the remainder of the season, having played 3 games for PSV just before he was loaned out, getting 1 assist. With Willem he had and only played 2 matches before his injury.

Juan Aurich[link]

On 23 December 2009 PSV Eindhoven decided to loan out Reimond Manco until June to Peruvian club Juan Aurich.^[20] Juan Aurich had the chance to play the Copa Libertadores, the equivalent of the UEFA Champions League in South America, which would give Manco some high-calibre matches, but first they would have to get through the first round against Mexican side Estudiantes Tecos. In Juan Aurich's only pre-season friendly Manco came on in the 32nd minute for injured winger William Chiroque. The first leg of the Copa Libertadores tie was in Juan Aurich's homeground, Chiclayo, where the Peruvians won 2–0 in a dominating game where Manco showcased his great skill and destroyed the struggling Mexican team's defense. Estudiantes Tecos, on a five game losing streak, firmly believed they could win it at home and qualify to the second round, setting up the first goal on the 43rd minute, after beating two defenders on the right flank and crossing perfectly to Luis Tejeda's head, who had also scored the two goals in Peru. Defender Wily Rivas received a red card in the 64th minute and Estudiantes began to press the Peruvians, who tried to hold their ground in defense. The Mexican side came back to score a goal but it was not nearly enough and Juan Aurich entered the group stage of the Libertadores by defeating Estudiantes Tecos 4–1 on aggregate. On March 17, 2010 Reimond Manco was chosen as Man of the Match in a 4–2 Copa Libertadores win over as of then undefeated group leaders Alianza Lima, where he provided an assist and scored a goal. Finally Manco was bought by Juan Aurich's team in 15 July 2010.

León de Huánuco[link]

After a disciplinary incident in Juan Aurich, Manco was transferred to León de Huánuco in the beginning of 2012. He was managed by Aníbal Ruiz. He would only play a few matches, leaving the club in May 2012 in order to play for Al Wakrah.
