Housed in a custom full red leather case with gilt tooled and lettered spine. *** Lorca was born in 1898 in Fuente Vaqueros, a few miles outside Granada in the region of Andalusia in southern Spain. From an early age he was fascinated by Spain s mixed heritage, adapting its ancient folk songs, ballads, lullabies, and flamenco music into poems and playsBy the age of thirty, he had published five books of poetry, culminating in 1928 with Gypsy Ballads, which brought him widespread fame. In 1929-1930 he traveled to New York City, which inspired new poetic styles and a new focus on social justice. In 1936, at the outset of the Spanish Civil War, he was tragically shot to death by anti-Republican rebels in Franco s army, and his books were banned and destroyed. Lorca then took on martyr status and his poems became rallying cries for justice and freedom of expression His one of a kind lyricism and unexpected uses of language lead us urgently and directly to the central mysteries of human existence.
