Aguilera, from the Complutense University, about the author. · There are hardly any copies of this work on the market, practically unknown to the public - I have read that apparently the poet’s widow expressed the wish that it not be put up for sale. This is out of print. · In this format, with portfolio, complete, including the volume titled "Hijos de la Ira" is the only one we have seen. A different format. Merino’s lithographs are exceptional, truly works of art. In addition, the book presents facsimiles of the texts handwritten by Dámaso Alonso himself (holographs).
