Description
Federico Garc a Lorca is one of the most famous poets and playwrights in literature, and his work has been widely represented, read, edited and studied since he was assassinated in 1936. Less well known, however, are his public speeches. And therein lies the first fruits of this book, which brings together for the first time all his lectures and radio speeches: texts written to be read in theaters or as a tribute to one of his poet friends. The ensemble not only reveals his aesthetic and social concerns, but also brings us closer to a direct and uninhibited Lorca, who seems to still be speaking to us out loud. FEDERICO GARC A LORCA was born in Fuente Vaqueros (Granada) in 1898 and was shot in 1936. His poetry, translated into countless languages, travels through landscapes, delves into traditions and denounces injustices, and his masterful books continue to be read without regard to the passage of time or the whims of what's fashionable.

About the Author
Federico García Lorca nació en Fuente Vaqueros (Granada) el 5 de junio de 1898, y murió fusilado en agosto de 1936. En 1919 estuvo en Madrid, en la Residencia de Estudiantes, conviviendo con parte de los poetas que después formarían la Generación del 27. Se licenció en derecho en el año 1923 en la Universidad de Granada, donde también cursó estudios de filosofía y letras. Viajó por Europa y América y, en 1932, dirigió la compañía de teatro La Barraca. Sus obras poéticas más emblemáticas son el Romancero gitano (1927), donde el lirismo andaluz llega a su cumbre y universalidad, y Poeta en Nueva York (1940), conjunto de poemas adscritos a las vanguardias de principios del siglo xx, escritos durante su estancia en la Universidad de Columbia. Entre sus obras dramáticas destacan Bodas de sangre, La casa de Bernarda Alba y Yerma.
