COMMENTS: Prologues by Laín Entralgo, Rumeu de Armas and Schüler Pérez and a bibliographic essay written by C. 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).
