{"product_id":"lorca-selected-poems-9780856463884","title":"Lorca: Selected Poems","description":"J.L. Gili's selection of Lorca's poems in Spanish, with his own unassuming prose versions as guides to the originals, first appeared in 1960. With its excellent introduction and selection it remains a perfect introductory guide to the great poet. The book is ideal for newcomers to Lorca who know, or are prepared to grapple with, a little Spanish. It influenced a generation of readers and poets, including Ted Hughes who first encountered Lorca through this book. Spain's most celebrated modern poet, Federico García Lorca was born in 1898 near Granada. Poet, dramatist, musician and artist, he was the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Gypsy Ballad Book\u003c\/i\u003e (1928) and \u003ci\u003ePoet in New York\u003c\/i\u003e (1940). After his return from New York and Cuba to Republican Spain in 1930, he devoted himself to the theatre, writing three tragedies including \u003ci\u003eBlood Wedding\u003c\/i\u003e (1933). An outspoken supporter of the Republic, he was assassinated at the height of his fame by Nationalist partisans in Granada in 1936, on the eve of the Spanish Civil War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anvil Press Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780856463884\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Federico Garcia Lorca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43112038826165,"sku":"9780856463884","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c72a1e76-43d2-40c7-ade6-dc8a98444e26.jpg?v=1693927359","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/lorca-selected-poems-9780856463884","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
