ALEJANDRO SAWA: LIGHTS IN THE SHADOW OF

In 2009 marks 100 years since the death of Alejandro Sawa. This edition of lights in the darkness is our tribute to this great unknown of English literature who was inspired by Valle-Inclán for the famous Star Max Luces de Bohemia. Reading his pages, walk through the Paris of Verlaine, Daudet and Mallarmé, as privileged spectators attending the birth of symbolism and modernism. The past, our past, we are enlightened by this work that combines the clarity of thought with the intensity of feeling, drawing a time still dreaming dreams with faith and art was simply for the Arts. Andrés Trapiello
As noted in his presentation "The lights is actually a miscellaneous book in diary form, genre where it is everything that does not fit anywhere else. Arguably the first great literary intimacy daily modern English literature. "
In the book are very much present Madrid, Paris and London, so we have included in this edition photographs of those cities at the time that he lived Sawa. Its streets are an important part of the book and help us better understand the era in which he lived.

'Alexander left an unpublished book. The best thing that has writing. A diary of hopes and tribulations. "
Ramón M ª del Valle-Inclán
