The Wilderness by Thomas Stearns Eliot is a poetic work that is considered one of the most influential poems of the 20th century. Structurally complex, it combines elements of different cultures, myths and religions, creating a complex and allegorical world. This poem reflects the loss of meaning, the destruction of moral values and the modern chaos prevailing in society. "Desert" uses a high level of linguistic complexity and symbolism, prompting the reader to think deeply and discuss important topics. This is a masterpiece that immerses the reader in the world of inner search and reflection on human nature.
