Description:

This distinguished series seeks to meet the needs of today's school and university students with
short modern works by leading Spanish and Latin American authors. The basic format-text in
Spanish accompanied by introduction, bibliography, notes and glossary in English-remains but has
been redesigned for maximum conciseness and ease of use.

About Author:

Born in Fuente Vaqueros, Granada, Spain, June 5,1898; died near Granada, August 19,1936,
Garca 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 this century, and he is certainly Spain's greatest dramatist since the Golden
Age.

Sex, violence, rape and death. This is stuff poems are made of. It is supposed to be deeply routed
in Spanish culture. Lorca used to sing them when he was still in process of writing them in front of
audience, and they left such a deep impact on people that they were quoted by other writers and
inspired other works even before they were published. I guess they wells on the habbit people had
world over (before Guttenberg) of making songs on the events that leave deep impact on
imagination of people to help remembering events in future. Except in this case they are fictional
events.
These poems are often about battle between opposities - desire and purity, life and death. Some
of them take form of conversations between characters - and some of the characters are gods
(creating new mythic tales) There is lots of symbolism too - which you start being able to
understand as you read on. A third reason to want to learn Spanish after Neruda and Marquez.

A fourth one would be to be able to understand that comment without needing translator :)
