Miguel Hernández

Eight decades after his death, we commemorate with this edition, not only the victory of Miguel Hernández (1910-1942) over time and against oblivion, but also the twenty years of a biography that, in 2002, according to Antonio Muñoz Molina, it came to disrupt the legends and commonplaces about the poet, bringing us back to the man "in the fullness of his life, his poetry and his political commitment". Enriched with new documents and testimonies, especially in the final chapters, those that affect the last years of the author of Viento del pueblo -his arrest in Portugal, his shady prison process, his conviction and death-, the biography of José Luis Ferris has been unanimously recognized as the most complete for its rigor, its audacity and its equanimity, for shedding definitive light on the brief but intense career of a necessary poet. In this new edition, Ferris goes deeper than ever into that vital and poetic itinerary, with its lights and shadows, and places in his right place that young man whose commitment to life, in all its manifestations, led him to sing with equal it delivers the strength of desire, the fullness of nature and the deep greatness of human suffering.
