Originally published in 1910, "Las cerezas del cementerio" is one of the most significant works by Gabriel Miró, a fundamental author in Spanish literature. The novel follows the story of Félix Valdivia, a young engineering student who becomes involved in a complex relationship with Beatriz, a beautiful, mature woman married to a wealthy shipowner. Through this narrative, Miró explores profound themes such as passion, eroticism, individual freedom, and a critique of bourgeois society and its moral conventions, all imbued with the philosophical influence of Nietzsche and a deep love for the Alicante landscape. This 2023 edition by Ediciones Ulises is part of his Complete Works (Vol. 2) and includes a prologue by Miguel de Unamuno and an introduction by scholar Dolores Thion Soriano-Mollá.
Gabriel Miró Ferrer, known as Gabriel Miró, was a Spanish modernist writer. In 1900 he finished his studies in law at the University of Granada and the University of Valencia. He focused mainly on writing novels, but also collaborated to a large number of newspapers such as: El Heraldo, Los Lunes de El Imparcial, ABC and El Sol. He was among the contributors of the Madrid-based avant-garde magazine Prometeo between 1908 and 1912. The rich and poetic language, the philosophical and theological ideas, and the subtle irony are some of the main characteristics of his works. Gabriel Miró preferred to focus on the intimate world of his characters and its development, in the inner relations between everything in their surrounding and the way they evolve in time.
