Federico García Lorca, one of Spain's most celebrated poets and playwrights, remains an icon of 20th-century literature. His profound impact on Spanish culture and world literature can still be felt today, as his works continue to be read, performed, and revered by audiences globally. Known for his passionate, deeply emotional writing, Lorca's work blends the rich traditions of Spanish folklore with modernist techniques, creating a unique artistic voice that transcends time and place.

    Born on June 5, 1898, in the small town of Fuente Vaqueros in the province of Granada, Spain, Lorca was introduced to the world of music and poetry at a young age. His family, supportive of his artistic talents, encouraged him to pursue his passion for writing. Lorca initially studied at the University of Granada, where he delved into law, philosophy, and literature before later moving to Madrid to refine his craft. It was during this time in Madrid that Lorca became deeply involved in the cultural and artistic movements of the Spanish avant-garde, forging connections with other intellectuals, writers, and artists, including the famous painter Salvador Dalí and filmmaker Luis Buñuel.
