About this title

About the Author:

Hijo de un rico propietario y de una maestra, vivio una infancia rural a la que sumo una completa formacion. Se traslado a Madrid, donde se alojo en la Residencia de Estudiantes y conocio a sus companeros de generacion y a muchas figuras del panorama artistico. En este ambiente conoce las Vanguardias, pero su personal sensibilidad sobrepasa las modas y triunfa definitivamente con su emblematico Romancero gitano. Tras vivir una enriquecedora temporada en Cuba y Nueva York (el impacto de esta ciudad da lugar a Poeta en Nueva York ), vuelve a Espana. Durante la Republica, dirige la compania La Barraca, grupo teatral universitario con el que lleva el teatro clasico por todos los rincones de Espana. En 1933 visita Buenos Aires, donde sus dramas obtienen gran exito. De regreso, Lorca, que es ya poeta de exito, manifiesta publicamente sus ideas de izquierdas; este hecho lo pone en el punto de mira de los nacionales que lo asesinan nada mas estallar la guerra civil, dos meses despues de terminar La casa de Bernarda Alba. Otras obras destacadas del autor son Poema del cante jondo, La zapatera prodigiosa, Bodas de sangre, Yerma, Dona Rosita la solterao el lenguaje de las flores, Mariana Pineday El publico, todas ellas publicadas en Austral. / The son of a wealthy landowner and a teacher, he lived a rural childhood to which he added full training. He moved to Madrid, where he stayed in the Student Residence and met his generation class mates and many figures of the artistic scene. In this environment he meets the Vanguards, but his personal sensitivity surpasses fashions and finally triumphs with his flagship, the Gypsy Ballads. After living a rewarding season in Cuba and New York (the impact of this city results in being a Poet in New York), he returns to Spain. During the Republic, he manages a company called La Barraca, a university theater group with which he brings classical theater to every corner of Spain. In 1933 he visits Buenos Aires, where his dramas achieve great success. On his return, Lorca, is already a successful poet. He publicly expresses his left-wing ideas; this fact puts him in the crosshairs of Nazis who kill him causing the outbreak of civil war, two months after finishing Bernarda Alba's house. Other outstanding works of the author are Cantejondo poem, The Prodigious Shoemaker, Blood Weddings, Barren, Dona Rosita the spinster, or the language of flowers, Mariana Pineday The public, all o fhtem published in Austral."
