«Campos de Castilla y otros poemas» is a poetry collection by Antonio Machado, published by Ediciones El País in paperback (126 pages, in Spanish).
After living in Soria, Antonio Machado turns the Castilian landscape into lyrical material: fields, men and villages appear crossed by reflection on time, death and the destiny of Spain. The volume brings together these poems along with other compositions of an introspective and philosophical tone.
Volume 36 of the Clásicos Españoles collection from El País, published in 2004. The original work dates from 1912.
Suitable for readers approaching the classics of twentieth-century Spanish poetry and for the school environment.
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."
