1965réf. 111499London: Secker & Warburg 1965. First British edition of this collection of play by Garcia Lorca. Octavo original cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Ralph Mabey. Translated by James Graham-Lujan and Richard L. O'Connell. Federico Garcia Lorca's position as one of the few geniuses of the modern theatre was firmly established in the English-speaking world with his Three Tragedies. Here with an introduction by the dramatist's brother Francisco Garcia Lorca are five of his "comedies" in the authorized translations extensively revised to reflect recent Lorca scholarship and to convey the sparkle freshness and magic of the original Spanish. The Shoemaker's Prodigious Wife tells of a young beauty married to an old man a theme that often concerned Lorca. The resolution for the earnest shoemaker who leaves home and comes back disguised as a puppeteer is lighthearted but there is underlying pathos. The Love of Don Perlimplin is again about a girl who weds someone much older this time a bookish 18th-century gentleman who seeks an original but sardonic way out of the situation. According to Lorca himself "Dona Rosita is the outer gentleness and inner scorching of a girl in Granada who little by little turns into that grotesque and moving thing - an old maid in Spain.

Romancero Gitano translated as Gypsy Ballads is a poetry collection by Spanish writer Federico Garcia Lorca published in 1928. It is his best known book of poetry. It is composed of eighteen romances with subjects like the night death the sky and the moon. All of the poems deal with the Romani people and their culture. The work reflects the pains of a people who live on the margins of society and who feel persecuted by the representatives of authority and for their struggle against that authority. However Garcia Lorca himself points out that his interest is focused not on describing a specific situation but on the clash that occurs again and again between the forces encountered: in a poem that describes the struggle between the Civil Guard and the gypsies he calls these sides "Roman" and "Carthaginian" to imply the permanence of the conflict. "Their imagery is often vividly synaesthetic inventive and unexpected . . . the poems celebrate and lament the concrete and the mysterious in language that manages both to be startlingly fresh and obviously in debt to a rich tradition that of the traditional Spanish ballad and its offshoots" Gyln Pursglove.
