Description:Luis Cernuda (1902-1963) is one of the major Spanish poets of this century, whose work has only recently achieved the same degree of recognition that has long been accorded his contemporaries, Federico García Lorca, Jorge Guillén and Rafael Alberti. His poetry is an important influence on the young poets of Spain today.This bilingual anthology contains the first representative selection of his works to be translated into English. After the Spanish Civil War, he lived for several years as an exile in England and then the United States, where he was deeply influenced by poetry in English. His mature work is therefore accessible to readers not acquainted with the Spanish poetic tradition.Cernuda's poetry is autobiographical. It reflects his tragic view of life as an irreconcilable conflict between personal dream and objective reality. He learns through each experience that dreams are illusions, but he acquires his self-knowledge through analysis of his experiences. One is struck by the integrity with which he conducts the search from dream and self. He assumes an ethical responsibility for his own existence as he struggles to affirm personal truth in a hostile environment which threatens to diminish his identity. Through his own struggles he provides a mirror for modern man.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
