Coincide la crítica en ver Sombra del paraíso como un libro de gran belleza, tendente a reflejar un mundo soñado que ansía lo puro y elemental, evocando a través de los recuerdos infantiles una suerte del alba del universo. Mágico edén donde el poeta vivió ahora 'recuerda sin saberlo', dijo de él su propio autor en una muy usada carta a su amigo y crítico Dámaso Alonso. Pe

Solo dos poemas me parecieron realmente poderosos
Vicente Aleixandre composed these poems in 1939, shortly before the end of the Spanish Civil War and after the end of what is often called the "Second Golden Age" of Spanish art & writers.

Spanish poet, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1977. Vicente Aleixandre has been called an existentialist, a mystic pantheist, and a neoromantic. Although Aleixandre did not consider himself an orthodox surrealist, his poems contained surrealistic images and Freudian subconscious associations. Central motifs are erotic love, solitude, time, and death.
