Grøn vil eg ha deg grøn

by Federico García Lorca, Ragnar Hovland (Translator), Tove Bakke (Translator)

Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) reknast blant dei viktigaste diktarane i det 20. hundreåret. Lyrikken til Lorca er kjenneteikna av musikalitet, sensualitet og biletskapande evner. Delar av produksjonen til hans er presentert på norsk tidlegare, men denne gongen er utvalet vidare: frå barnedikt til lengre suitar og balladar. Tove Bakke og Ragnar Hovland står for utval og gjendikting. Omtalen er utarbeida av BS.

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.
