Publisher Description
Poemas que forman parte de “Poeta en Nueva York”, la obra en la que Federico García Lorca nos cuenta desde su surrealista visión, los desencantos y desilusión que le produjo la “gran manzana”.
Lorca rechaza el orden impuesto por el hombre en el hormigón, acero y cristal de la gran urbe neoyorquina, frente a la simplicidad de las leyes naturales. La fuerza represiva del hombre blanco sobre el negro que anhela su libertad.

About Federico García Lorca
Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)was born in Fuente Vaqueros, a few miles outside Granada in the province of Andalusia, southern Spain. From an early age he was fascinated by Spain’s mixed heritage, adapting its ancient folk songs, ballads, lullabies, and flamenco music into poems and plays. By the age of thirty, he had published five books of poems, culminating in 1928 with Gypsy Ballads, which brought him far-reaching fame. In 1929/30 he studied in New York City, where he wrote the poems?among his most socially engaging and compelling?that were to be published posthumously (and famously) as Poet in New York. Upon returning to Spain, he devoted much of his attention to theater. In 1936, at the outset of the Spanish Civil War, he was shot to death by anti-Republican rebels in Franco’s army, and his books were banned and destroyed.
