This book is a tribute to a writer who explained so well the essence of his native Andalusia to the world. As a member of the Spanish Generation of 1927, a club of poets, painters and intellectuals who introduced avant-garde European futurism and surrealism, Lorca experimented with social and political criticism. Besides his vast literary achievements, Federico was the director of an itinerant group of university student actors who gave theater freshness and flexibility updating dramas from classic playwrights like 16th century Miguel de Cervantes, creator of Don Quixote, and 17th century classic author Pedro Calderón de la Barca. As a musician, Lorca revived folk ballads some of which became war songs of the Republicans fighting against Francisco Franco's forces in the Spanish Civil War.
The name 'Federico GarcÃa Lorca' was rarely officially mentioned after his assassination in August 1936. It was only after the death of General Franco, who as dictator of Spain for 40 years had generally banned his writing, that the full body of Federico GarcÃa Lorca's literary work came to light and was embraced by the world. He is one of the most intriguing contemporary writers in the Spanish language.Page count: 202Matt Casado, is a Spanish-born Professor Emeritus of Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Arizona.
