«La destrucción o el amor. Sombra del paraíso» is a poetry book by Vicente Aleixandre, published by Seix Barral in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
The collection addresses love and death as two opposing and inseparable forces. Its language, close to surrealism and free verse, links it to the Generation of '27 and places it among the landmarks of 20th-century Spanish poetry.
It was published in 1984 as number 68 of Seix Barral's «Obras maestras de la literatura contemporánea» collection.
For those approaching 20th-century Spanish poetry and an author linked to the Generation of '27.
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.
