In 1924, Rafael Alberti, a young man from Cádiz and budding painter, was awarded the National Poetry Prize for his work 'Mar y tierra', which would later be titled 'Marinero en tierra'. This book, written during a convalescence in Madrid, evokes the nostalgia of the sea and the salt flats of El Puerto de Santa María, using popular poetry and the songbooks of the 15th century as rhetorical devices. This edition includes a prologue by Clara Janés.
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.
