The Contemporary Parnassus: Rafael Alberti

El Parnaso Contemporáneo, a podcast directed by Izaro Díaz, student of Degree in Philology Hispanic and Clara Buedo, student of Degree in Literature and Creative Writing and in partnership with Radio Universidad de Navarra.

Episode 5 - Rafael Alberti:

After having delighted us in the surrealist city of New York by the hand of Federico García Lorca, another of the greatest representatives of the Generation of '27 comes to us: Rafael Alberti. 

In this episode, we delve into the surrealist side of the author in "Sobre los ángeles". Alberti presents himself to us in a crisis of faith and existential crisis that he tries to solve as the work progresses. As we advance in the analysis, we find symbolic similarities to Lorca's work, as well as references to authors such as Bécquer and Juan Ramón Jiménez.

On this occasion, we have a very special guest who declaims the selected poem: Rafael Alberti himself.

 What is the contemporary parnassus?

This is a literature podcast, published fortnightly, about different authors. It is aimed at people who do not have time to research or inform themselves, but are passionate about literature and want to discover it.
