In 1922, Garca Lorca organized the first Cante Jondo festival in which Spain’s most famous deep song singers and guitarists participated. ![]() ![]() Recommended for anyone wanting to glimpse into the hidden soul of those dark cathedrals and cold mountains of Andalucia. Much of Garca Lorca’s work was infused with popular themes such as Flamenco and Gypsy culture. But this prose if far more accessible than his often obscure poems. which is the strength of both of FGL's poetry and prose. It has a very strong appeal and conjures up fantastical imagery. The Spain that FGL was writing of was on the way to becoming a national and patriotic myth, helped in no small part by FGL himself. ![]() The truth is that these essays convey a great understanding of Andalusian culture, it's dark obsession with death, poverty and matriarchal wailing in the middle of the night etc. Which helps, as the translations convey the meaning but none of the 'essence'. I know a little Spanish and CM has been good enough to present his translations of the poems included as parallel texts. Personally, I don't care much for FGL's poetry and I struggle with translations of poetry from their native language anyway. For these alone it is worth reading, though it includes some small speeches and dull talks that add little to this thin collection. This is a collection of essays, speeches and talks by the Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca translated and edited by Christopher Mauer.Ī couple of the essay's are outstanding Deep Song and The Play and Theory of the Duende being the stand outs. ![]()

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from the library in exchange for an honest review. ![]() ![]() This is not the edition I have - my one is a 1969 paperback Penguin, badly worn around the edges with a picture of an ornate fountain backed by tall balconied buildings. Thanks to Laura for drawing my attention to Hazzard. Essentially this is a romance that makes you see how much weight there is in the choices we make when we are young. And Sophie's reluctance to begin her life takes its fuel subtly from the stories of the world she finds herself in. But she is surrounded by unhappy history. The choice should be easy: she's in love. It's a crossroads moment in her life which will irreparably determine the kind of person she will become. Although the affair has an air of a holiday romance, we begin to see the entire course of the heroine's life is in the balance. It's a novel that gets wiser and wiser as it goes on. I don't think there's a lazy pointless sentence in the entire book. ![]() She's a very writerly writer - so much craft goes into her every sentence. ![]() The descriptive writing is always beautiful. This is a writer who loves Italy and knows it intimately. The evocation of Italy is one of this novel's high points. ![]() Before long though, continually brought together by circumstance, they are romantically bound. A young English woman, Sophie meets a separated married Italian man, Tancredi and initially they don't much like each other. It's set in a town in Tuscany - a kind of cross between Siena and Lucca.

Miss Mansfield does not write what one usually thinks of as a “short story.” She is interested in people, not in plots, in the substance and color of life, and not the chess patterns that can be made with it. ![]() And after reading all of them, including her first volume, Bliss, there is no doubt at all that this talent amounts to the rare thing which a lack of a juster word to express our enthusiasms we call genius, and that her name must be added to that small company of the living-so small that they could all get into one Lexington Avenue car without straphanging-who really have something to say, and can say it uncommonly well. It is necessary to read no more than two or three of Miss Mansfield's stories before discovering that she has great talent. ![]() Review of Katherine Mansfield’s The Garden Party and Other Stories ![]() ![]() ![]() “Did you drown them?”Īs the tide rolled in, the relative quiet gave Trudeau - early for once to his own announcement - a chance to stake his claim as hero of uninsured mouths across the nation. “What did you do with the protesters?” one quick-witted journalist asked a PM staffer.
