In 'The Tomb of Antigone,' María Zambrano explores the figure of Antigone as a symbol of moral integrity and vital force, highlighting her relevance in the history of thought. Zambrano analyzes Antigone's tragic story, narrated by Sophocles, to reflect on themes such as freedom, power, and exile. This edition, with an introduction by Marifé Santiago Bolaños, reproduces the text established by Sebastián Fenoy Gutiérrez.
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.
