Product Description
In January 1939, Antonio Machado would cross the border from Spain to France accompanied by his mother, traveling, as was his custom, with only the essentials. He died three weeks later in the small French town of Collioure, his appalling state a warning sign of his impending passing. Machado was sixty-four. Ian Gibson, internationally renowned Hispanist, has dedicated years of research and work to give us Machado’s life story –a passionate journey through the private life, philosophy and work of a man who is considered today one of the most read and loved Spanish poets of all times.

Description in Spanish: Antonio Machado procedía de una familia sevillana intelectual con hondas raíces republicanas. Madrileño a partir de los 8 años, sin olvidar nunca su infancia en la capital andaluza, su paso por la Institución Libre de Enseñanza lo marcó indeleblemente y el París finisecular le hizo el regalo inestimable de la poesía simbolista.
En enero de 1939, cercano el final, Machado cruzó la frontera con su madre en condiciones deplorables. Murió tres semanas después, a los 64 años, en el pequeño pueblo francés de Collioure. Ligero, como siempre, de equipaje. Hoy es uno de los poetas españoles más leídos y amados de todos los tiempos. Ésta es su historia.
Ian Gibson lleva años trabajando e investigando sobre la vida de Antonio Machado. Por fin, fruto de esa ingente labor, salen a la luz todos los detalles y todo lo que no se ha contado nunca sobre el gran escritor español de la Generación del 98. Un apasionante recorrido por su vida íntima, sus obras, sus amigos, sus enemigos, su ideología… Imprescindible su lectura para comprender un poco mejor la España de esos tiempos.
