Viento del pueblo is a collection of poems by the Spanish poet and playwright Miguel Hernández, published by Lumen Editorial. In these verses, Hernández expresses his social and political commitment, reflecting the reality of the Spanish civil war and the struggle of the people. His poetry transcends literary categories, becoming a historical testimony and a song to hope in the midst of adversity. This edition presents a careful selection of poems that invite reflection on the human condition and the search for justice.
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.
