Alberti combines the tradition of the Romancero, Gil Vicente and Galician-Portuguese lyric with neopopularist and avant-garde aesthetics, in resplendent images. Winner of the National Literature Prize.
This edition belongs to Alianza's El libro de bolsillo collection; the collection was originally published in 1925.
For readers of 20th-century Spanish poetry and for those who appreciate the fusion of tradition and avant-garde.
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.
