Summary: Two classics / Las dos obras classicas
Comment: Lorca's "Gypsy Romances", written in the Andalusian cante jondo ("deep song") style, is a collection of strange and beautiful ballads. His "Poet in New York" is quite different. It contains surrealist impressions of his time in the titular city. Both exhibit the quality of "duende" for which Lorca is justly acclaimed. If you are not already familiar with these two world-famous works, you might want to look for editions that have English translations on facing pages. "Poet in New York" can get especially involved.

This book looks like the type used in high school classrooms. It is hardback, but the pages are cheap and pulpy. Oh well. I plan to write English glosses in all the margins anyway. It's great to get two of Lorca's masterpieces together and at this price. Beware: it took two months for them to ship this. I think they have to order it special because it is printed in Madrid. The book also contains a prologue by Carlos Bousono-- also (por supuesto) in Spanish.
