Description

Federico García Lorca (Fuente Vaqueros, Granada, 5 June 1898 - camino de Víznar a Alfacar, Granada, 18 August 1936) was a Spanish poet, playwright, and theatre director. He achieved international recognition as an emblematic member of the Generation of '27, a group consisting of mostly poets who introduced the tenets of European movements (such as symbolism, futurism, and surrealism) into Spanish literature. He was killed by Nationalist forces at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. His remains have never been found. Lorca universe is defined by a palpable systematism: poetry, drama and prose feed on obsessions - love, desire, sterility - and constant stylistic keys. The variety of shapes and tones never threatens that unity whose central issue is frustration.

El nuevo estuche de Poesía Portátil recoge una selección de ocho voces líricas inspiradas y agitadas por el amor. Esta recopilación abraza algunos de los versos más excelentes de la literatura universal en torno al amor. Desde el canto lírico cargado de pasión de Safo de Lesbos hasta la complicidad más sencilla de Pablo Neruda, pasando por los impecables sonetos de William Shakespeare o el erotismo y la sensualidad del recuerdo de juventud de Cavafis. No podían faltar tampoco la melancolía solitaria y abrumadora de Idea Vilariño, el mundo interior de Jaime Gil de Biedma, lo trágico y romántico mezclado con lo popular de Federico García Lorca o la emoción magnética que, como hizo en su prosa, Julio Cortázar selló en su poesía . Estaedición estuche contiene los volúmenes: No creo poder tocar el cielo con las manos de Safo Recuerda, cuerpo de Cavafis Amor más poderoso que la vida de Jaime Gil de Biedma Que cada cosa cruel sea tú que vuelves de Julio Cortázar Ya noserá de Idea Vilariño Poesía de amor de Pablo Neruda Días son las noches que te sueño de William Shakespeare Soñando en la mar amarga de Federico García Lorca

Adentrarse en la escritura poética de Efraín Jara Idrovo supone acceder al asombro, al descubrimiento de renovadas propuestas teóricas, temáticas; escenarios donde el hombre, más allá de mostrarse fascinado ante las evidencias del mundo, desacraliza la realidad, cuestiona el transcurrir del tiempo, admite la inequívoca presencia de la soledad, la nostalgia, la muerte y, desde estas reflexiones, propone la reconfiguración existencial que no sólo particulariza su obra, sino, que lo ubica como uno de los poetas ecuatorianos e hispanoamericanos más trascendentes de nuestro tiempo.

Poema del cante jondo

The magic of Andalusia is crystallized in Federico Garcia Lorca's first major work, Poem of the Deep Song, written in 1921 when the poet was twenty-three years old, and published a decade later. In this group of poems, based on saetas, soleares, and siguiriyas, Lorca captures the passionate flamenco cosmos of Andalusia's Gypsies, "those mysterious wandering folk who gave deep song its definitive form." Cante jondo, deep song, comes from a musical tradition that developed among peoples who fled into the mountains in the 15th century to escape the Spanish Inquisition. With roots in Arabic instruments, Sephardic ritual, Byzantine liturgy, native folk songs, and, above all, the rhythms of Gypsy life, deep song is characterized by intense and profound emotion. Fearing that the priceless heritage of deep song might vanish from Spain, Lorca, along with Manuel de Falla and other young artists, hoped to preserve "the artistic treasure of an entire race." In Poem of the Deep Song, the poet's own lyric genius gives cante jondo a special kind of immortality.
