«Caminos y cantares» is the anthology of poems by Antonio Machado and Manuel Machado, published by Edelvives in hardback (158 pages, in Spanish).
Antonio Rodríguez Almodóvar, a specialist in the Machados' work, brings together celebrated poems by both with others less widely known. The verses combine the popular with classical and romantic roots: Antonio, philosophical in depth; Manuel, a modernism of elegant forms. Patricia Metola's symbolic and dreamlike illustrations accompany the reading.
Volume 7 of the Adarga collection, within Edelvives' children's and young adult catalogue. First edition published in Zaragoza in October 2008.
Intended for readers aged 8 to 10 who want to discover the poetry of the Machado brothers.
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."
