Romancero Gitano (Poes?a) / Gypsy Ballads (Poems)

La obra emblem?tica de Federico Garc?a Lorca en un formato singular.

El Romancero Gitano es una de las creaciones l?ricas m?s significativas del siglo XX. Punto culminante de la primera etapa est?tica de Lorca, el propio poeta lo define como el poema de Andaluc?a, y lo llamo gitano porque el gitano es lo m?s elevado, lo m?s profundo, m?s aristocr?tico de mi pa?s, lo m?s representativo de su modo y el que guarda el ascua, la sangre y el alfabeto de la verdad andaluza y universal. Es, sin embargo, un libro donde apenas s? est? expresada la Andaluc?a que se ve, pero donde est? temblando la que no se ve: un libro antipintoresco, antifolcl?rico, antiflamenco..., donde las figuras sirven a fondos milenarios y donde no hay m?s que un personaje grande y oscuro como un cielo de est?o... la Pena. Ofrece este volumen la magn?fica edici?n de Christian De Paepe, reconocido como uno de los principales lorquistas, con un estudio de la est?tica y la estructura del Romancero y una detallada anotaci?n tem?tica y estil?stica. A ello se a?aden la Introducci?n general de Esperanza Ortega, un rico ap?ndice documental y comentarios a los romances.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The emblematic work of Federico Garc?a Lorca in a unique format.

The Romancero Gitano (Gypsy Ballads) is one of the most significant lyrical creations of the twentieth century. The culminating point of Lorca's first aesthetic stage, the poet himself defines it as the poem of Andalusia, and I call it gypsy because the gypsy is the highest, the deepest, the most aristocratic of my country, the most representative of his way and the one who keeps the ember, the blood and the alphabet of the Andalusian and universal truth. It is, however, a book where the Andalusia that is seen is hardly expressed, but where the one that is not seen is trembling: an anti-picturesque, anti-folkloric, anti-flamenco book..., where the figures serve millenary backgrounds and where there is nothing more than a large and dark character like a summer sky... the Penalty. This volume offers the magnificent edition of Christian De Paepe, recognized as one of the main Lorquistas, with a study of the aesthetics and structure of the Romancero and a detailed thematic and stylistic annotation. To this are added the General Introduction of Esperanza Ortega, a rich documentary appendix and commentaries on the romances.
