Sin lugar a dudas el Romancero gitano no es solo el gran libro de poesía del canon lorquiano sino también una de las obras poéticas más importantes de la cultura occidental, que ha convertido al poeta granadino en una de las figuras más destacadas de nuestra literatura, junto a Quevedo, Góngora o Juan Ramón Jiménez.
A lo largo de los dieciocho romances que conforman el libro, Lorca hace gala del simbolismo que tanto le caracteriza -la luna, el agua, el cuchillo, la sangre, su mundo gitano, «el barco sobre la mar» y «el caballo en la montaña»- con el que ha fascinado, o casi hipnotizado, a generaciones de lectores de todo el mundo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Lorca’s poetry, brought to its highest expression in Gypsy Ballads, travels through landscapes, delves into traditions, and denounces injustices with the mastery of one who knew how to wield the pen like few others, without yielding to the passage of time.
Without a doubt, Gypsy Ballads is not only the great poetry book of Lorca’s canon but also one of the most important poetic works of Western culture. It established the poet from Granada as one of the most outstanding figures in Spanish literature, alongside Quevedo, Góngora, and Juan Ramón Jiménez.
Throughout the eighteen ballads that make up the book, Lorca showcases the symbolism for which he is so well known—the moon, water, the knife, blood, his Gypsy world, “the ship upon the sea,” and “the horse in the mountains”—with which he has fascinated, almost hypnotized, generations of readers around the world.
