essays & poetry (bilingual), ed Christopher Maurer
-
In these three plays, García Lorca's acknowledged masterpieces, he searched for a contemporary mode of tragedy and reminded his audience that dramatic poetry-or poetic drama-depends less on formal convention that on an elemental, radical outlook on human life. His images are beautiful and exact, but until now no translator had ever been able to make his characters speak unaffectedly on the American stage. Michael Dewell of the National Repertory Theatre and Carmen Zapata of the Bilingual Foundation of the Arts have created these versions expressly for the stage. The result, both performable and readable, has been thoroughly revised for this edition, which is introduced by Christopher Maurer, general editor of the Complete Poetical Works of García Lorca.

A reissue of a landmark poetry volume with a new introduction by Pulitzer Prize winner W. S. Merwin. Bilingual.The Selected Poems of Federico García Lorca has introduced generations of American readers to mesmerizing poetry since 1955. Lorca (1898-1937) is admired all over the world for the lyricism, immediacy and clarity of his poetry, as well as for his ability to encompass techniques of the symbolist movement with deeper psychological shadings. But Lorca's poems are, most of all, admired for their beauty. Undercurrents of his major influences—Spanish folk traditions from his native Andalusia and Granada, gypsy ballads, and his friends the surrealists Salvador Dali and Luis Buñuel—stream throughout Lorca's work. Poets represented here as translators are as diverse as Stephen Spender, Langston Hughes, Ben Belitt, William Jay Smith, and W.S. Merwin.

Blood Wedding is set in a village community in Lorca's Andalusia and tells the story of a couple drawn irresistibly together in the face of an arranged marriage. Written when Lorca was at the height of his powers, it is the play on which his international reputation was founded.
Poet, painter, musician, theatre director, and Spain's most celebrated dramatist, Federico Garca Lorca was murdered by Nationalist sympathizers at the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. Many of his passionate and intensely lyrical plays focus on peasant life and the forces of human nature, combining innovatory dramatic technique with Spanish popular tradition.
"Lorca is one of the few indisputably great dramatists of the twentieth century."-Observer

When Bermuda's husband dies, she locks all the doors and windows. She tells her grown-up daughters to sew and be silent. "There are eight years of mourning ahead of us. While it lasts, not even the wind will get into this house". Lorca's extraordinarily powerful drama, the last he wrote before his assassination, explores the darkness at the heart of repression.

En la rígida España de principios de siglo, un pueblo se prepara para una gran fiesta. Pero las pasiones ocultas y la sangre que hierve bajo las pieles ardientes tuercen el rumbo de la historia. La boda tan esperada resulta en duelo, la luna se tiñe de rojo. Y la muerte, el sino trágico, se cierne sobre los actores del drama, haciendo de "Bodas de sangre" un clásico del teatro español.

Written while Federico García Lorca was a student at Columbia University in 1929-30, Poet in New York is one of the most important books Lorca produced, and certainly one of the most important books ever published about New York City. Indeed, it is a book that changed the direction of poetry in both Spain and the Americas, a pathbreaking and defining work of modern literature.In honor of the poet's centenary, the celebrated Lorca scholar Christopher Maurer has revised this strange, timeless, and vital book of verse, using much previously unavailable or untranslated material: Lorca's own manuscript of the entire book; witty and insightful letters from the poet to his family describing his feelings about America and his temporary home there (a dorm room in Columbia's John Jay Hall); the annotated photographs which accompany those letters; and a prose poem missing from previous editions. Complementing these new addtions are extensive notes and letters, revised versions of all the poems, and an interpretive lectures by Lorca himself.An excellent introduction to the work of one of the key figures of modern poetry, this bilingual edition of Poet in New York is also a thrilling exposition of the American city in the 20th century.

El miembro mas conocido de la generación del 27, Garía Lorca cometió la audacia de acercarse a la literatura popular para incorporarla al proyecto del grupo de escritores españoles que se habían dado a la tarea de fortalecer y hacer más rica la poesía y el ensayo. Romancero gitano es una particular visión de una épica y un sentimiento del pueblo más libre, más romántico y más aventurero.
