Campos de Castilla is a key work of 20th-century Spanish poetry, a tribute to Spain and its people. This edition, illustrated by David de las Heras, offers a new perspective on this immortal classic. The illustrations use a wide chromatic range and pictorial references that evoke the Golden Age, creating a unique visual and literary experience.
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."
