Product Description

In Search of Duende (New Directions Pearls)

An excellent compilation of Lorcaâ‚¬s poetry and prose, emphasizing Lorcaâ‚¬s notion of the duende, the â‚¬Å“earth spirit of irrationality and death.â‚¬Â

The notion of â‚¬Å“duendeâ‚¬Ââ‚¬â€¢a demonic earth spirit embodying irrationality, earthiness, and a heightened awareness of deathâ‚¬â€¢became a cornerstone of Lorcaâ‚¬s poetics. In Search of Duende gathers Lorcaâ‚¬s writings about the duende and three art forms susceptible to it: dance, music, and the bullfight. A bilingual sampling of Lorcaâ‚¬s poetry is also included, making this an excellent introduction to Lorcaâ‚¬s poetry and prose for American readers.
