«Claros del bosque» is an essential work in the philosophical trajectory of María Zambrano, where her «poetic reason» is manifested for the first time. The author introduces us to the profound meaning of this book, describing it as an unpublished thought that arises from irrepressible writing, an act of deciphering what is felt in the most original. Zambrano explores human transcendence, the unification between passivity and knowledge, and the search for true life in the moments of clarity that open between heaven and earth. In this edition, Mercedes Gómez Blesa enriches the work with her careful edition and notes.
María Zambrano Alarcón was a Spanish philosopher, intellectual, and essayist. Her extensive work between poetic reflection and civic engagement was not recognized in Spain until the last quarter of the 20th century, after a nearly 45-year-long exile. In 1988, Zambrano became the first woman to receive the Premio Cervantes, the highest literary honor in the Spanish-speaking world. She is increasingly regarded as one of the most important voices of the 20th century, and Spanish scholarship often places her alongside thinkers such as Simone Weil and Hannah Arendt, as well as her close friend and contemporary Rosa Chacel.
