About the author

Born in Fuente Vaqueros, Granada, Spain, June 5 1898; died near Granada, August 19 1936, García Lorca is one of Spain's most deeply appreciated and highly revered poets and dramatists. His murder by the Nationalists at the start of the Spanish civil war brought sudden international fame, accompanied by an excess of political rhetoric which led a later generation to question his merits; after the inevitable slump, his reputation has recovered (largely with a shift in interest to the less obvious works). He must now be bracketed with Machado as one of the two greatest poets Spain has produced in the 20th century, and he is certainly Spain's greatest dramatist since the Golden Age.

Reviews

[Jesica Sabrina Canto · Rating 1 out of 5]

He llegado hasta la mitad del libro y no he podido continuarlo. No tengo cosas negativas para decir “objetivamente”, simplemente no me agrado, me resulto tedioso. Creo que lo que se cuenta quedaría mejor en prosa que en verso. El juego con la sonoridad es muy claro, pero me pareció excesivo, cacofónico. Quizás un niño lo disfrute por lo “pegadizo”, pero en tal caso me da la sensación como si fueran más canciones que poemas.
