Federico Garcia Lorca : A Life
Ian Gibson

Back in print to coincide with the release of the upcoming motion picture Death in Granada on the life of Lorca, this "monumental biography" (New York Times) goes to the heart of his explosive genius. When, at the age of 38, Federico Garcia Lorca was executed by anti-republican rebels during the Spanish Civil War, he was already one of the world's most celebrated poets and playwrights.

The Cricket Sings : Poems and Songs for Children ~

Federico, Garcia Lorca, Federico Garcia Lorca / Paperback / Published 1980

Federico Garcia Lorca / Paperback / Published 1964

La Casa De Bernarda Alba :

Federico Garcia Lorca / Paperback / Published 1985

Remarks: This volume couples together two contrasting works: La Casa de Bernarda Alba, completed in June 1936, two months before his death, a masterpiece of poetic tragedy; and La Zapatera Prodigiosa, started ten years earlier, a simple, fresh poetic comedy. (SA)

Once Five Years Pass : And Other Dramatic Works

Federico Garcia Lorca / Hardcover / Published 1990

Remarks: Once Five Years Pass, dated 19 August 1931, was one of Lorca's "unperformable" plays. Yet it was being rehearsed for performance in 1936 on the eve of the Spanish Civil War. It is in these "unperformable" plays that Lorca's "true dramatic intention" is to be found. (SA)

Remarks: For many critics, this work represents the pinnacle of Lorca's poetic, as opposed to his dramatic, genius. (SA)

Three Plays : Blood Wedding/Yerma/the House of Bernarda Alba

Remarks: Sometimes described as the "rural trilogy", many critics consider these three dramas to be the highest expression of Lorca's dramatic genius. (SA)

Three Tragedies

Federico Lorca Garcia, Federico Garcia Lorca / Paperback / Published 1955

Yerma (Hispanic Texts)

Garcia Lorca, Robin Warner (Editor) / Hardcover / Published 1994

Remarks: When this play was first performed in Madrid in December 1934 it caused a scandal. Conservatives in the audience were shocked by its theme of sterility and the erotic undertones of the final act. (SA)

Federico Garcia Lorca / Paperback / Published 1981
(Publisher Out Of Stock)

Remarks: From his earliest published poem, written in 1918, to the last of his sonnets, written in 1936, the year of his death, Lorca's poetic production is unceasing and extrordinary in its range. (SA)

Federico Garcia Lorca, et al / Paperback / Published 1978
(Special Order)

Remarks: This volume includes Doña Rosita la Soltera, written between Yerma and Bernarda Alba in 1935. It was his intention to write something light-hearted in contrast to the dark tragedies of the "rural trilogy". But this latest working of Lorca's "Juliet without a Romeo" theme turns out to be an intensely sad melodrama. (SA)

Four Puppet Plays: The Divan Poems

Federico Garcia Lorca, Edwin Honig (Translator) / Paperback / Published 1990

Remarks: Lorca, like the composer Manuel de Falla, was very enthusiastic about the puppet theatre as part of the popular Andalusian tradition; puppet theatre is included in both their repetoires. The Divan Poems (1931-34) represent the aesthetic of sensuality characteristic of Granada's ancient Arabic poets, taken over by Lorca to express more freely his homosexual love. (SA)

La Casa De Bernarda Alba

Federico Garcia Lorca / Paperback / Published 1984

Synopsis: "Seven women, without a man, in a country house, closed down by a recent mourning, within the calcinated atmosphere of an Andalusian August. Bernarda Alba is a character that seems to come out of the classical Greek stage (...) Seven women without a man who try to catch a glimpse of Pepe el Romano's warm shadow.Three anguished, dry, laconic acts. (...) The youngest daughter, the one who was not yet bitter. A noise in the barn. A woman hung from a rope (...) Silence! Let noone suspect anything. The hatred of the rejected ones is the only responsory for the dead girl." (Adolfo Salazar.)
