With good reason, one can call him a myth: the most famous Spanish lyricist and playwright of the 20th century, Federico García Lorca (1898-1936). This myth has been shaped not only by the themes that define his work—Flamenco, gypsies, or the city of New York—but also by the versatility of his oeuvre, where experimental theater stands alongside realistic, prosaic tragedy in his drama, while his poetry encompasses both impressionistic verses and a bold, elusive imagery that resists interpretation. Additionally, the vibrant personality of the poet and the fact that he was murdered by Falangists shortly after the outbreak of the Civil War, with his work being condemned in Franco's Spain, have significantly contributed to the myth of Lorca. This edition is a reprint of Heinrich Enrique Beck's work.
