5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpiece, December 14, 1999
By Tony Wolf (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
Lorca's essay, "the Play and Theory of the Duende", should be required reading for artists in any field. A life-changing concept, rendered beautifully in poetic prose.

5.0 out of 5 stars Duende, October 15, 2001
By Joel Cosme (Buffalo, N.Y. United States) - See all my reviews
This is the one book which I believe all artists should read - I have the challenge of teaching my classmates to understand how to find Duende soon so I know this is a great resource.

4.0 out of 5 stars To understand Lorca - read this book, December 27, 2008
By Dame de Drama (Panhandle, Florida) - See all my reviews
For an actor to perform any of Lorca's plays you really need to understand the author. This book is a good start.
