{"product_id":"selected-suites-federico-garca-lorca-9781786941084","title":"Selected Suites: Translated with Introduction","description":"This volume offers a fresh translation of a generous selection of Lorca's suites, a body of work that Federico García Lorca left largely unpublished upon his death in 1936. Composed between 1920 to 1923, these poems are closest in spirit and technique to Lorca's Songs (1927) and his Poem of the Deep Song (1931). In 1926 the poet suggested they could be released together to form a 'boxed set', yet this plan, like other earlier efforts, fell through. Lorca's suites reveal a poet who is interested in creating a modern style founded on popular oral lyric and fragmented narrative. But they also show a poet who explores his heart and his sexual orientation, and who may have hesitated too long about publication. Lorca achieved the fullest expression of a personal yearning in his long poem In the Garden of the Lunar Grapefruits. Out of an impossible contradiction between self-discovery and wariness of disclosure rises the blue world of the ideal - a timeless world that all readers of\u003cbr\u003eLorca will want to take into account, inasmuch as it forms a counterpoint to the rest of his work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Federico García Lorca\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786941082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786941084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liverpool University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.70w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFederico del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús García Lorca, known as Federico García Lorca was a Spanish poet, playwright, and theatre director. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBorn in Canandaigua, New York, Roberta Quance was awarded a PhD in Spanish in 1982 from Cornell University.
