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

“La sombra de mi alma
huye por un ocaso de alfabetos,
niebla de libros
y de palabras”

[Verónica Hernández]

El señor García no es para mí. Jamás me atrevería a cueztionar su grandeza, pero no escribe el tipo de poesía que a mí me conmueve.

Probaré con una de sus obras de teatro

siempre es un placer leer a Federico
