Abstract
-
The main objective of this dissertation (written in Spanish) is to present a detailed analysis of Luis Cernuda's implicit and explicit existentialist attitudes that are contained and expressed in the poet's collection of poems, La realidad y el deseo. This study focuses, specifically, on Cernuda's second period, which spans the years from 1937-1962. His second phase consists of five separate books of poems: Las nubes (1937-1940), Como quien espera el alba (1941-1944), Vivir sin estar viviendo (1944-1949), Con las horas contadas (1950-1956), and Desolacion de la quimera (1956-1962).;Taking into account some of the major concepts of the modern existential school of thought, particularly those of Soren Kierkegaard, Martin Heidegger, Karl Jaspers and Miguel de Unamuno, the following theories and topics are applied in the examination of Cernuda's late poetry: the search of the being's absolute and transcendental truth; man's commitment and faithfulness with his own destiny; the individual's choice and freedom; the existential anguish; the concepts of authenticity, death, time, void, transcendence and self-affirmation through the presence of the "others".;Cernuda's late poetry can be considered as the poet's most profound and complete expression of his personal identity. The complexity of his self exploration manifests itself as a vital necessity, as a concretion of his most intimate truth, and as an edification and proyection of his own authenticity.
