«Poemas sociales de guerra y de muerte» is the poetry collection by Miguel Hernández published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (123 pages, in Spanish).
This collection brings together verses in which Miguel Hernández turns words into testimony of war, death and human solidarity. The selection shows how the outbreak of the Civil War transforms his writing into a voice of combat and collective feeling, without abandoning lyrical depth.
It is part of the El Libro de Bolsillo collection, Literature Section (number 655), with introduction, selection and notes by Leopoldo de Luis and basic bibliography on pages 19-20.
For readers interested in twentieth-century Spanish poetry and in the poetic testimony of the Civil War.
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.
