As the title suggests, this is Federico Garcia Lorca's life told in photos, most of them from Federico's personal collection, and never before published. The photos, all in B&W, are gathered in chapters that focus on his family and youth, his student years; his time spent in Granada, Madrid, New York, Cuba, Buenos Aires and Montevideo; his relationships with Manuel de Falla and Salvador Dali; his work with La Barraca as a touring theatre troupe.... Editor Andres Soria Olmedo, professor of Spanish Literature at the University of Granada, gives the story context and depth with illuminating captions that include excerpts from Federico's poems and letters, historical details and anecdotes.... In addition, the book comes with two CDs that will provide an ideal musical background as you wander the pages of this book. The first CD contains the Canciones Populares Espa–olas as recorded by Federico with La Argentinita. The second CD features some of the more memorable musical settings and adaptations that have been made of Garcia Lorca's poetry over the years.
