A man with a fragile and simple appearance, with a measured gesture and voice, who brought his word to the people, stripped of solemnity. He wrote, against the prevailing fashions and criticism, stories that are the adventures of the average man. He visited all literary genres: the novel, the short story, the play, but poetry was his favorite genre, the one that most intensely marked his vocation and the most abundant and popular of all his work. Benedetti is probably the most widely read poet in our language and, certainly, the most sung. \" -Joan Manuel Serrat \"","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51421754753297,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51421755506961,"sku":"CIN8420439681G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8420439681.jpg?v=1751191223"},{"product_id":"antologia-poetica-book-mario-benedetti-9788420650869","title":"Antologia Poetica","description":"Look around you.
