Las nubes is a collection of poems by the Spanish author Luis Cernuda, written between 1937 and 1938. This facsimile edition by Visor Libros reproduces the original Buenos Aires edition from 1943, belonging to the Rama de Oro collection. The poems explore themes such as exile, nostalgia, and personal reflection, characteristic of Cernuda's introspective and melancholic style.
Luis Cernuda Bidón was a Spanish poet, a member of the Generation of '27. During the Spanish Civil War, in early 1938, he went to the UK to deliver some lectures and this became the start of an exile that lasted till the end of his life. He taught in the universities of Glasgow and Cambridge before moving in 1947 to the US. In the 1950s he moved to Mexico. While he continued to write poetry, he also published wide-ranging books of critical essays, covering French, English and German as well as Spanish literature. He was frank about his homosexuality at a time when this was problematic and became something of a role model for this in Spain. His collected poems were published under the title La realidad y el deseo.
