More than a conventional biography, this correspondence offers the testimony of a life and draws the deepest and closest portrait ever made of the most universal man from Granada.

UNPUBLISHED LORCA.
More than 200 documents (letters, postcards, telegrams, photographs, drawings…), many of them unpublished, hidden for decades, rescued by Víctor Fernández to form this biographical treasure.

PHOTOGRAPH OF A FAMILY AND PORTRAIT OF AN ERA.
“The letters published here, a significant number of them unpublished until today, help us fix the photograph of the García Lorca family.” But it is also an X-ray of the culture and society of his time, with the tragic shadow of the Civil War.

FEDERICO IN SLIPPERS.
The collection of letters offers an everyday and intimate portrait of the poet. Lorca as you have never seen him before; behind the genius and the duende, Federico.

Federico García Lorca, a poet and playwright studied in depth, is infinite and still has much to tell us.

These letters allow us to glimpse his family intimacy: in them he is the eldest son of don Federico and doña Vicenta, the loving and protective brother of Paco, Concha, and Isabelita.

More than a conventional biography, this correspondence offers the testimony of a life and draws the deepest and closest portrait ever made of the most universal man from Granada.

This very rich collection of letters manages to convey the endearing relationship the poet maintained with his family environment, especially with his mother, doña Vicenta Lorca Romero, who, far from being the self-sacrificing and silent woman in the shadow of her husband first and her children later, reveals herself as a cultured woman (she was a teacher), with sharp literary judgment and exceptional sensitivity.

The passage of the genius from Fuente Vaqueros through the Residencia de Estudiantes, his poetic attempts and theatrical triumphs, the transatlantic trips and the stay in New York are wonderfully portrayed on these pages.

Carefully edited by Víctor Fernández and illustrated, we access this key piece of biographical craftsmanship that reveals how much Lorca's poetry and genius owe to the family environment of the Granada plain, especially to the voice and breath of an extraordinary mother, Vicenta Lorca Romero.
