Las Nubes y Desolación de la Quimera son dos obras cimeras del poeta Luis Cernuda, pertenecientes a su etapa de madurez. En Las Nubes, Cernuda aborda temas como la guerra y el exilio, mostrando una España que se ha convertido en madrastra para sus hijos, de la que emerge una visión idealizada y añorada. Desolación de la Quimera, su último libro, es una revisión de su pasado y un recuento de su ser. Esta edición incluye una introducción y notas de Luis Antonio de Villena, ofreciendo un análisis profundo de la obra de Cernuda.
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.
