Anthology prepared by Leopoldo de Luis with a selection of Miguel Hernández's poetry on death, human solidarity and amorous passion. Social consciousness and the presence of death run through his verses; the outbreak of the Civil War turns his writing into a tool of combat and collective testimony.

For readers of 20th-century Spanish poetry and those interested in the work of Miguel Hernández and the context of the Civil War.
Miguel Hernández Gilabert was a 20th-century Spanish-language poet and playwright associated with the Generation of '27 and the Generation of '36 movements. Born and raised in a family of low resources, he was self-taught in what refers to literature, and struggled against an unfavourable environment to build up his intellectual education, such as a father who physically abused him for spending time with books instead of working, and who took him out of school as soon as he finished his primary education. At school, he became a friend of Ramón Sijé, a well-educated boy who lent and recommended books to Hernández, and whose death would inspire his most famous poem, Elegy.
