«Proverbios y cantares» is Antonio Machado's poetry anthology, published by El País in 2003 in hardback.
The work brings together a selection of poems by Antonio Machado, one of the great poets of the Generation of '98. In these poems, the author reflects on man and the mystery of life, with a sententious, philosophical tone that combines popular wisdom with the absolute, giving these verses lasting value. The selection offers a glimpse of the most intimate and essential voice of the Sevillian poet.
The volume is part of the 20th Century Classics collection, published by El País in 2003. It has 192 pages in hardback.
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."
