By making the words from his lips return to the depths of his feelings and his reasons. That is what Ilu Ros does. She proposes an encounter with García Lorca that is a generational dialogue, a look from the present to the past and from the past to the present. The word today carries an illustrated world within it.”-Luis García Montero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThere is only one Federico. He doesn’t need last names. A name recognized by children and adults alike, one that sounds of duende, cante jondo, and popular balladry, but also of the most groundbreaking avant-garde. A name that embodies the joy and shadows of Spain, the most brilliant era of our culture since the Golden Age, but also the war and the shame of a people that will never be able to forgive itself for the death of the poet who most represented it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book we hear the voices of those who knew him, from his close family to the legion of friends who spent time with him during his Granada years, at the lyrical revelries of the Residencia de Estudiantes, or throughout his intense literary life. And, of course, his own: that of the poet, the playwright, the lecturer, with the clarity of ideas that have the same force today, and, finally, the bare voice of the son, the brother, and the lover in love. Ilu Ros fuses voices and words with her illustrations, which draw us in like the magnetic personality of Federico García Lorca: an icon of past, present, and future generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA unique book.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The great artist and storyteller Ilu Ros addresses the life and work of Federico García Lorca.
