«Poesía y prosa de guerra y otros textos olvidados» is the collection by Miguel Hernández published by Peralta Ediciones in 1977 (paperback, in Spanish).
The volume brings together poems and prose that Miguel Hernández wrote during the civil war, along with other texts that had been forgotten outside his best-known books. The whole traces the poet's commitment and evolution, combining pieces of a warlike tone with more personal and testimonial writings.
The book, 180 pages, is part of the Libros Hiperión collection (no. 15); the texts were gathered by Juan Cano Ballesta and Robert Marrast, and it includes a bibliography on pages 40-45.
For readers of Spanish poetry and those interested in the work of Miguel Hernández and in writings arising from 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.
