Romancero gitano by Federico García Lorca
"Romancero gitano" by Federico García Lorca is a poetry collection published in 1928. This work presents eighteen ballads exploring Gypsy culture through symbols of night, death, sky, and moon, with sorrow as the unifying thread. Set in Andalusia, the poems depict marginalized people clashing with authority, particularly the Civil Guard. Lorca blends popular and sophisticated poetry, treating Gypsies and Andalusia in metaphorical and mythical terms rather than as historical documentation. The collection
merges narrative and lyrical language while capturing eternal conflicts between opposing forces. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
