José Martí was 42 years old when he died and he became one of the most talented representatives of modernism in literature. He wrote poems, stories for children, articles for newspapers, prologues, reviews, commentarieson publications and so on and so forth.......

A mi particularmente me gusta mucho la poesia de Marti, no se si es que crecimos oyendola y me trae recuerdos de mi infancia y anos adolescente pero en general me gusta mucho su poesia y como escribe. Recuerdo siempre mucho el libro de la Edad de Oro
