«La destrucción o el amor» is the poetry collection by Vicente Aleixandre, Nobel Prize in Literature 1977, published by El País in 2003 (149 pages, in Spanish).
Poetic work by Vicente Aleixandre that intertwines love and death through an imagery close to surrealism.

The original work was published in 1935 and belongs to the Clásicos del Siglo XX collection, number 25. This hardcover edition has 149 pages and measures 14 x 20.5 cm.
