Sonnets of Dark Love by Federico Garcia Lorca: Sonetos del Amor Oscuro - Paperback

by Mar Escribano (Translator), Federico Garcia Lorca (Author)

Sonnets of Dark Love by Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936) have been translated into English by Mar Escribano. These poems were written in 1935, but were not published until after his death by the ABC Spanish newspaper on the 17th of March 1984, (clandestine editions were released before this date). This bilingual edition includes vintage images to get a better understanding of the romantic love he had for Ramirez de Lucas, together with explanations and comments for each sonnet. Lorca did not go to Mexico on exile (despite warnings that he may be killed) because Ramirez de Lucas' family refused him permission to travel with Lorca abroad. Ramirez de Lucas was under 21, and in Spain, at the time, you could not legally travel without parental permission.
