«Sombra del Paraíso» is the poetry collection by Vicente Aleixandre, edited by Leopoldo de Luis, published by Castalia Ediciones in paperback (208 pages).
The collection depicts an imagined Eden rooted in childhood: a luminous space aspiring to the pure and elemental. The presence of man breaks that harmony, while love idealizes sensual beauty and leaves a trace of lost happiness.
Number 71 of the Clásicos Castalia collection. Edition, introduction, and notes by Leopoldo de Luis; includes selected bibliography, an appendix with five paradisiacal poems, and indexes of titles and first lines.
For readers of twentieth-century Spanish poetry and students seeking an annotated edition with critical introduction and bibliography.
Vicente Pío Marcelino Cirilo Aleixandre y Merlo was a Spanish poet who was born in Seville. Aleixandre received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1977 "for a creative poetic writing which illuminates man's condition in the cosmos and in present-day society, at the same time representing the great renewal of the traditions of Spanish poetry between the wars". He was part of the Generation of '27.
