An Essential Work For Any Lorca Fan,
By
This review is from: The death of Lorca (Paperback)
In his critical 1973 expose of the events surrounding Lorca's death, Ian Gibson traces the sociopolitical climate in pre-civil war Spain through the turbulence of 1936 and the baffling last days of Federico Garcia Lorca. Based upon years of firsthand research, the book attempts to explain the conditions and possible motives that lead up to Lorca's murder and strives to make sense of a most senseless act. Through Gibson's cogent retelling of history and recreation of Lorca's character, even the most elementary of students will begin to understand how Spain's most gifted poet and playwright could become a target of the Facists and at the same time, why poetry and drama are so essential to our freedom and humanity.
