This complete edition of 'Poetry and Prose' by Antonio Machado, belonging to the 'Clásicos Castellanos' collection, is an essential work for lovers of Spanish literature. It includes a critical edition by Oreste Macrí, with the collaboration of Gaetano Chiappini, offering a deep and detailed analysis of the author's work. This four-volume set covers the entirety of Machado's poetic and prose production, from his earliest writings to his final reflections, providing a complete view of his literary evolution and thought.
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."
