Overview
Sin lugar a dudas el Romancero gitano no es solo el gran libro de poesía del canon lorquiano sino también una de las obras poéticas más importantes de la cultura occidental, que ha convertido al poeta granadino en una de las figuras más destacadas de nuestra literatura, junto a Quevedo, Góngora o Juan Ramón Jiménez. A lo largo de los dieciocho romances que conforman el libro, Lorca hace gala del simbolismo que tanto le caracteriza -la luna, el agua, el cuchillo, la sangre, su mundo gitano, «el barco sobre la mar» y «el caballo en la montaña»- con el que ha fascinado, o casi hipnotizado, a generaciones de lectores de todo el mundo.
Salvador Dalí escribió...
«Federiquito, en el libro tuyo que me lo he llevado por esos sitios minerales de por aquí a leer, te he visto a ti, la bestiecita que eres, bestiecita erótica, con tu sexo y tus pequeños ojos de tu cuerpo, y tus pelos y tu miedo de la muerte, y tus ganas de que si te mueres se enteren todos los señores.»
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Federico García Lorca wrote the Gypsy Ballads between 1924 and 1927. When the book was published it caused a sensation in the literary world.
Drawing on the traditional Spanish ballad form, Lorca described his Romancero Gitano as 'the poem of Andalucía...A book that hardly expresses visible Andalusia at all, but where hidden Andalucía trembles'.
Seeking to relate the nature of his proud and troubled region of Spain, he drew on a traditional gypsy form; yet the homely, unpretentious style of these poems barely disguises the undercurrents of conflicted identity never far from Lorca's work.
