Ocnos es una obra lírica del poeta español Luis Cernuda, publicada por primera vez en 1942. Esta edición de 2003, publicada por El País dentro de su colección 'Clásicos del siglo XX', presenta una selección de poemas en prosa que evocan recuerdos y reflexiones del autor sobre su infancia en Sevilla y su exilio. La obra se caracteriza por su estilo intimista y su profunda sensibilidad, explorando temas como la memoria, el deseo y la identidad.

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.
