Summary: Lorca's sublime poetry about death and the life of gipsies
Comment: Federico Garcia Lorca, of Spanish origin, is considered to be the second best poet of all times (after Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, writer of "Don Quijote") by many literary critics, and for no small reason. His work "Romancero Gitano" is a collection of baroque-styled poems about death and the life and superstitions of Spanish gipsies. His style is remarkably fluent and entertaining, yet provides a complex and satisfying reading experience. Lorca, member of the world famous group of writers known as Generacion del 27, encloses the reader in his heavily metaphorical writings, with strong phrases that evoke images such as a female virgin gypsy running away from a mad wind that wants to rape her, or a young boy lying dead while several gipsies mourn him. It is, of course, not the ideal reading material for a child, or for somebody who does not want to begin a complex reading that may take more than seconds to understand. But for those who are bold enough to enter a beautiful world of fantasy and strong, powerful poetry, "Romancero Guitano" is the ideal book.
