Federico García Lorca es uno de los poetas y dramaturgos más célebres de nuestra literatura, y su obra ha sido ampliamente representada, leída, editada y estudiada desde que fue asesinado en 1936. Menos conocidas, sin embargo, son sus intervenciones públicas. Y allí reside la primicia del presente libro, que reúne por primera vez todas sus conferencias y alocuciones radiofónicas: textos escritos para ser leídos en teatros o como homenaje a alguno de sus amigos poetas. El conjunto no solo revela sus preocupaciones estéticas y sociales, sino que nos acerca a un Lorca directo y desenfadado, que parece seguir hablándonos de viva voz. FEDERICO GARCÍA LORCA nació en Fuente Vaqueros (Granada) en 1898 y murió fusilado en 1936. Su poesía, traducida a infinidad de lenguas, recorre paisajes, hurga en tradiciones y denuncia injusticias, y sus libros, magistrales, continúan leyéndose sin atender al paso del tiempo ni a los caprichos de la moda. Federico García Lorca is one of the most famous poets and playwrights in literature, and his work has been widely represented, read, edited and studied since he was assassinated in 1936. Less well known, however, are his public speeches. And therein lies the first fruits of this book, which brings together for the first time all his lectures and radio speeches: texts written to be read in theaters or as a tribute to one of his poet friends. The ensemble not only reveals his aesthetic and social concerns, but also brings us closer to a direct and uninhibited Lorca, who seems to still be speaking to us out loud. FEDERICO GARCÍA LORCA was born in Fuente Vaqueros (Granada) in 1898 and was shot in 1936. His poetry, translated into countless languages, travels through landscapes, delves into traditions and denounces injustices, and his masterful books continue to be read without regard to the passage of time or the whims of what’s fashionable.
