This poetic anthology by Antonio Machado, published by Círculo de Lectores, is a careful selection of his best poems. Machado's work is characterized by its introspection, melancholy, and a deep romanticism, always tinged with skepticism and disillusionment. You will find poems composed between 1899 and 1922, organized according to the books in which they were originally published. This edition, with hardcover binding, is a treasure for lovers of 20th-century Spanish poetry.
Antonio Cipriano José María y Francisco de Santa Ana Machado y Ruiz, simply known as Antonio Machado, was a Spanish poet and one of the leading figures of the Spanish literary movement known as the Generation of '98. His work, initially modernist, evolved towards an intimate form of symbolism with romantic traits. He gradually developed a style characterised by both an engagement with humanity on one side and an almost Taoist contemplation of existence on the other, a synthesis that, according to Machado, echoed the most ancient popular wisdom. In Gerardo Diego's words, Machado "spoke in verse and lived in poetry."
