«Soledades, Galerías, Otros poemas» is Antonio Machado's poetry collection, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
This book is the expanded version of Antonio Machado's first poetry collection, published in 1907 after the 1903 edition. His intimate verses, heir to Romanticism, explore memory, melancholy, dream and landscape as a reflection of the spirit. This edition adds in an appendix the poems the author discarded from the 1903 version.
The edition is edited by Arturo Ramoneda and belongs to the collection El Libro de Bolsillo / Bibliotecas de Autor / Biblioteca Antonio Machado. It was published on 19 June 2006.
For poetry readers and for those seeking the intimate, Romantic side of Spanish Modernism.
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."
