Anthology of poems by Miguel Hernández, a selection of his best works. Hernández is a Spanish poet and playwright of special relevance in 20th-century Spanish literature, traditionally framed in the Generation of '36. From a humble family, he had to leave school to work, but he developed a great capacity for poetry, being a great reader of the Spanish classical poets. He took an active part in the Spanish Civil War and died in prison in 1942.
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.
