{"product_id":"concerning-the-angels-book-rafael-alberti-9780872862975","title":"Concerning the Angels","description":"First published in Spain in the summer of 1929, Concerning the Angels (Sobre los angeles) is the great Spanish poet Rafael Alberti's masterpiece, on a par with T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, Pablo Neruda's Residencia en la tierra, and Federico Garcia Lorca's Poeta en Nueva York. It marks a major departure from the light-hearted tone of the poet's earlier verse, which was notably influence by Andalusian folksong. It is at once intensely imaginative and intimately realistic, a lyrical illumination of the poet's \"dark night of the soul.\"  Rafael Alberti, born in 1902, is the last surviving member of the so-called Generation of 1927 that included such notable Spanish poets Federico Garcia Lorca, Vincente Alexandre, Pedro Salinas, Jorge Guillen, and Luis Cernuda.  Christopher Sawyer-Laucanno lives in Massachusetts and teaches in the program in Writing and Humanistic Studies at MIT.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50372132503825,"sku":"CIN0872862976G","price":5.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52821139915025,"sku":"NLS9780872862975","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0872862976.jpg?v=1750747183","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/concerning-the-angels-book-rafael-alberti-9780872862975","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
