In 2009, the 100th anniversary of Alejandro Sawa's death was commemorated. This edition of 'Illuminations in the Shadow' is a tribute to this great unknown figure of Spanish literature, who inspired Valle-Inclán for his famous Max Estrella in 'Bohemian Lights'. By reading its pages, the reader will stroll through the Paris of Verlaine, Daudet, and Mallarmé, attending as a privileged spectator the birth of symbolism and modernism. The work combines the lucidity of thought with the intensity of feeling, drawing an era in which dreams were still dreamed with faith and art was, simply, for Art.
The book, presented as a literary intimate diary, keeps very present cities such as Madrid, Paris, and London, including photographs of the time when Sawa lived in them, helping to better understand the context in which his life and work developed.
