«Cal y canto» is Rafael Alberti's poetry collection, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (112 pages, in Spanish).
Written in 1926-1927 and published in 1929, it brings together poems that take formal care to the extreme: musicality, brilliant imagery, broken syntax and measured stanzas. The baroque crosses with surrealism and modernity (sport, automobile, cinema, speed), and the first glimpses of the visionary world of «Sobre los ángeles» appear.
It belongs to the El libro de bolsillo collection, Biblioteca Alberti, and its subtitle is «(1926-1927)». 2002 edition in Spanish.
For readers of Spanish poetry and for those who want to learn about Rafael Alberti's evolution towards surrealism.
Rafael Alberti Merello was a Spanish poet, a member of the Generation of '27. He is considered one of the greatest literary figures of the so-called Silver Age of Spanish Literature, and he won numerous prizes and awards. He died aged 96. After the Spanish Civil War, he went into exile because of his Marxist beliefs. On his return to Spain after the death of Franco, Alberti was named Hijo Predilecto de Andalucía in 1983, and Doctor Honoris Causa by the Universidad de Cádiz in 1985.
