Welcome

Federico García Lorca was one of the great writers of the 20th. Century.  Poet, playwright, artist, composer, director, popular public speaker--Lorca did it all.  Immensely popular during his lifetime, he was assassinated by Fascists at the start of the Spanish Civil War, after which his works were banned and censored.  Now a new generation discovers the treasure trove he left us.  To learn about his fascinating life, visit Lorca's Wikipedia page.  The most exhaustive, definitive biography of Lorca is Ian Gibson's Federico Garcia Lorca: A Life.  Leslie Stainton's Lorca: A Dream of Life
