«Sobre los ángeles» is the poetry volume by Rafael Alberti that brings together four works, published in paperback by Alianza Editorial (208 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together four works written between 1927 and 1930: «Sobre los ángeles», «Sermones y moradas», «Yo era un tonto y lo que he visto me ha hecho dos tontos» and «Con los zapatos puestos tengo que morir». It shows Alberti's shift from Surrealist hermeticism to poetry open to the social, with the humour and absurdity of comic cinema as a bridge.
Published in 2002, it is part of the El libro de bolsillo collection, within the Biblioteca Alberti, from Alianza Editorial.
Rafael Alberti Merello was a Spanish poet, a member of the Generation of '27. He is considered one of the greatest literary figures of the so-called Silver Age of Spanish Literature, and he won numerous prizes and awards. He died aged 96. After the Spanish Civil War, he went into exile because of his Marxist beliefs. On his return to Spain after the death of Franco, Alberti was named Hijo Predilecto de Andalucía in 1983, and Doctor Honoris Causa by the Universidad de Cádiz in 1985.
