It also contains prose interludes, an introduction by editor Lewis Hyde, and a descriptive bibliography.Aleixandre was a member of Spain's Generation of 27 and was one of the few writers to remain in Spain during the Spanish Civil War.

Vicente Aleixandre won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1977. He died in Madrid in 1984.…
