Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) is one of the most celebrated 20th century Spanish writers, known primarily for his plays and poetry collections. In 1936 Lorca, an outspoken socialist, was arrested by Franco's regime and executed. Today his work is still as vivid, fresh, and arresting as when it was created.
