WHO IS FEDERICO GARCIA LORCA?
Federico Garcia Lorca was born on June 5, 1898, in Fuente Vaqueros, Granada. Lorca studied philosophy, literature and law at the University of Granada. His poetic works - such as, Poema del Cante Jondo and Romancero Gitano - and his plays (including Bodas de Sangre, Yerma, Las Casa de Bernarda Alba), allowed Lorca to capture the essence of the fractured Spanish psyche of that period and made him famous throughout the Spanish-speaking world. His favorite themes were love, pride, passion and violent death, which also marked his own life. At the outset of the Spanish Civil War in 1936, members of the Falange, a fascist party that supported General Franco, arrested the outspoken Lorca. Two days later, on August 19, he was executed by a firing squad.
