This edition brings together the author's extensive scattered and unpublished work, covering narration, theater, criticism, and personal miscellaneous texts. These texts are essential to understanding the richness of Cernuda's creative and contemplative process, including an unknown story, a theatrical work, aphorisms, and annotations from his diary. This publication offers a complete vision of the author's truth, consolidating his influence on 20th-century Spanish literature.
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.
