EDITORS COMMENTS
great photograph captures the distinguished figure of Don José Güell y Renté, a Cuban intellectual of Spanish descent, born in the late 1820s. The exact date of this image is 1860, a time when Güell y Renté had already made a significant mark in the literary world of Spain and Cuba. Güell y Renté was a prolific poet, lawyer, novelist, and historian. His literary career began with the publication of his first poetical essay, titled "Amarguras del Corazón" ("Sorrows of the Heart"), which was well-received. However, it was his later work, "Lagrimas del Corazón" ("Tears of the Heart"), that truly catapulted him to the heights of Castilian poetic celebrity. In this poem, he poignantly narrates his love for his spouse, Her Royal Highness the Infanta of Spain, Donna Josefa Bourbon, sister of the reigning King. The image shows a man of refined elegance, with a thoughtful expression, reflecting the depth of his literary prowess. Güell y Renté's works have earned him the admiration of both poetry and prose readers. His publications include "Christian Philosophic and Political Thoughts," "Legends of America," "The Virgin of Azucenas," a novel, "A Comparison between Isabella I and Isabella II," "The Story of a Grief-stricken Soul," and "The Granddaughter of Kings." Currently, he is working on a "History of the Conquest of America." This photograph is a testament to the remarkable literary career of Don José Güell y Renté, a man whose words have left an indelible mark on the literary landscape of both Cuba and Spain.
