"La Edad de Oro" de José Martí es una obra que ha cautivado a generaciones en Hispanoamérica. Publicada en 1889, combina artículos, poemas y cuentos que revelan la rica personalidad del autor. Es un recurso valioso para entender su perfil intelectual y artístico, y viene con un CD-ROM bilingüe con música, historias y juegos.
La prosa de José Martí dio lugar a una verdadera revolución literaria en nuestra lengua: por primera vez en el mundo hispánico, y aun tratándose de «ensayos» y «crónicas» publicadas en la prensa, un escritor encaraba la creación en prosa con la misma voluntad artística que el verso. Los textos aquí reunidos, que abarcan todas las etapas de su escritura —desde su más temprana juventud hasta el diario escrito en los días inmediatos a su muerte—, revelaron a muchos modernistas posteriores que un artículo de prensa puede transmitir tanta emoción poética y tanto conocimiento de lo humano esencial como el poema más ambicioso.
