Antonio Machado by Antonio Machado

Regarded by many as the finest poet of 20th-century Spain, Antonio Machado y Ruiz (18751939) is not well known outside the Spanish-speaking world. Some 250 poems in Spanish, drawn from Machados entire oeuvre, are accompanied on facing pages by sensitive and beautifully fluent translations.
Antonio Machado (1875–1939) [is] regarded in Spain as the greatest Spanish poet of the centuryTrueblood’s volume…can only serve to win readers for one of the greatest of European poets. * The Literary Review *
Trueblood’s discriminating anthology, with its very readable and resourceful English renderings facing the Spanish text, and its lightly handled erudition…is the best initiation into the poetic legacy of Machado for the general reader. * Times Literary Supplement *
Trueblood…makes [the poems] breathe with the same laconic power they have in Spanish. It is no small accomplishment that he has been able to keep his English so wind-swept. * New York Times Book Review *
A magnificent volume. * Modern Language Journal *
Alan S. Trueblood was Professor of Hispanic Studies and Comparative Literature at Brown University.
