Riassunto

Il più grande e amato poeta moderno spagnolo, Lorca è stato a lungo ammirato per l'intensità emotiva e la brillantezza oscura della sua opera, che attingeva a musica, dramma, mitologia e alle canzoni della sua infanzia andalusa. Dalle Suite giocose e dalle Ballate gitane stilizzate, alla sua oscura visione della vita urbana, Poeta a New York, e alla sua meditazione elegiaca sulla morte, Lamento per Ignacio Sánchez Mejías; la sua gamma era notevole. Questa edizione bilingue fornisce versioni di poeti e traduttori illustri, attingendo a ogni libro di poesie pubblicato da Lorca e alle sue opere non raccolte.

Su questo libro

Informazioni sull?autore

Federico García Lorca was born into an educated family of small landowners in Fuente Vaqueros in 1898. A poet, dramatist, musician and artist, he attended the university at Granada, where he acquired a fine knowledge of literature. In 1919 he went to the Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid and during his long stay there he met all the principal writers, critics and scholars who visited the place, which was then a flourishing centre of cultural liberalism. In 1928 his Gipsy-Ballad Book (Romancero gitano) received much public acclaim. In 1929 he went to New York with Fernando de los Ríos and his volume of poems Poet in New York (Poeta en Nueva York) was published posthumously in 1940.

On his return to republican Spain, he devoted himself to the theatre, as co-director of La Barraca, a government-sponsored student theatrical company that toured the country. He now wrote fewer poems, but these include his masterpiece Lament for Ignacio Sánchez Mejías (Llanto por la muerte de Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, 1935), a lament for a dead bullfighter. He wrote classical plays, pantomimic interludes, puppet plays, La zapatera prodigiosa (1930) and three tragedies: Blood Wedding (Bodas de sangre, 1933), Yerma (1934) and The House of Bernarda Alba (La casa de Bernarda Alba, 1936). Just after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936 he was murdered at Granada by Nationalist partisans, in mysterious circumstances.
