Esta biografía sobre Lorca, mundialmente aclamada, enriquecida con nueva información, nos ofrece las claves de uno de los genios más apasionantes y más queridos del siglo XX, un revolucionario sin carnet, que cantó al derecho del individuo a su propia vida, a su propio erotismo, a su libertad. Estar al lado de los marginados le condenó a muerte y, por mucho que pasen los años, su obra sigue más vigente que nunca.

"Espa?a, despu?s de Camboya, es hoy por hoy la naci?n con el mayor n?mero de desaparecidos en fosas comunes: m?s de 115.000 v?ctimas del r?gimen franquista, entre ellas Federico Garc?a Lorca. Ha pasado casi medio siglo desde la aparici?n, en el Par?s de 1971, de la primera edici?n de esta obra, hoy casi m?tica. Prohibida su importaci?n por la dictadura, la concesi?n, al a?o siguiente, del prestigioso Premio Internacional de la Prensa en la Feria del Libro de Niza le dio una resonancia mundial. Much?simos ejemplares lograron penetrar en nuestro pa?s, donde, revisada y ampliada, no se publicar?a hasta 1979, cuatro a?os tras el fallecimiento del Caudillo. A lo largo de las siguientes d?cadas se ir?a sabiendo mucho m?s acerca de las circunstancias que rodearon la persecuci?n y muerte del genial poeta y dramaturgo, as? como de miles de otras v?ctimas de la represi?n en Granada. Todo ello ha sido incorporado por Ian Gibson a esta rigurosa puesta al d?a de su investigaci?n, coincidiendo con el 120 aniversario del nacimiento del autor de Bodas de sangre, «viva moneda que nunca se volver? a repetir"--Publisher's description.
