Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936): Gypsy Ballads, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Heralded as one of the geniuses of twentieth-century literature, Federico García Lorca is among Spain's most beloved poets and dramatists. Gypsy Ballads , his most influential collection of verses, fuses the traditional form of the Spanish ballad with startling imagery, metaphor and wit, showcasing his bold, experimental style. In these deeply political, dream-like poems, inspired by the rhythms, lore and struggles of the marginalised Roma people, Lorca has encapsulated the essence of Andalusia.

Now, for the very first time in the English language, the text has been translated in rhyming ballad metre, allowing readers to experience the extraordinary musicality and beauty of Lorca's masterpiece.
