Więcej o książce

When, at age thirty-eight, Federico García Lorca was executed by anti-republican rebels during the Spanish Civil War, was already one of the world's most celebrated poets and playwrights. Ian Gibson's masterful biography shows us that Lorca's life was as remarkable as his work. Pianist, artist, actor, and lecturer, Lorca was brilliant and charismatic. But his outspokenness and his work with a republican theater troupe made him a political symbol as well-and, eventually, a target. Gibson explores Lorca's life in all its complexity: the close but difficult relationship with his family, the deep depressions that plagued him throughout his life, and the problems he faced as a homosexual in an intolerant society. A New York Times Best Book of 1989, this is and will remain the definitive biography of Lorca.
