«Marinero en tierra» is the poetry collection by Rafael Alberti, published by Ediciones El País in hardcover (159 pages, in Spanish).
First poetry collection by Rafael Alberti, originally published in 1925, combining Spanish popular tradition (Romancero, Gil Vicente, Garcilaso) with echoes of Rimbaud, Verlaine and the avant-garde. His light, musical verses convey the melancholy of the sailor anchored on land, with luminous images and imagined creatures.
This volume belongs to El País's Clásicos del Siglo XX collection; the work was awarded the Premio Nacional de Literatura in 1925.
For readers of twentieth-century Spanish poetry and for those wishing to discover Rafael Alberti's early lyrical phase.
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.
