This anthology of poems by Antonio Machado, one of the most important poets of the Generation of '98, collects all the themes and tones of his lyricism. From his early modernist poems to his engagement with the problems of Spain, through his discovery of Castilian nature and his loves with Leonor and Guiomar, this collection offers a complete vision of Machado's poetic work. The last days of the poet, shrouded in the tragedy of the Civil War, are also present in this anthology.
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."
