This poetic anthology by Antonio Machado, published in 1975, is a selection of his best poems. The book includes an introduction and commentary by Andrés Sorel, which help to understand the work of the poet from Seville. Machado's poetry is one of the most important in 20th century Spanish literature, and this anthology is an excellent way to approach his work.
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."
