The Death of Lorca

“Ian Gibson's thorough investigation has, for the first time, reconstructed and clarified the circumstances in which Lorca met his death. The result is a masterly piece of detective work.” – The Guardian. Federico Garcia Lorca, one of the outstanding poets and dramatists of this century, was murdered at the age of thirty-nine by Nationalist rebels in his native Granada. History enshrines him, dismissively, as a homosexual romantic martyr, but while his political convictions are indisputable there may have been something of the dilettante in his idealism.
