Canciones: Federico García Lorca

Sinopse

In 1927, Federico Garcia Lorca published his masterpiece Canciones, a volume of lyrical poetry. Tobias Tak transformed twenty of these poems into a series of richly detailed and inventive comics. With his boundless imagination, Tak's illustrations add a new depth and energy to Lorca's poetry. This bilingual collection will appeal to lovers of visual art, graphic novels and poetry and aims to bring the colourful and atmospheric landscape of Lorca's work to a new audience. Includes an introduction by Lorca scholar, editor and translator Christopher Maurer (The Collected Poems of Lorca).

Canciones is a beautiful book that combines outstanding written and graphic imaginations. Foreword Reviews
