Federico García Lorca
Federico García Lorca was a renowned Spanish poet, playwright, and theatre director, born on June 5, 1898, in Fuente Vaqueros, Spain. He is considered one of the most important literary figures of the 20th century, known for his passionate writings that explore themes of love, death, and the human experience, often infused with folkloric elements. His notable works include 'Bodas de Sangre' (Blood Wedding) and 'La Casa de Bernarda Alba' (The House of Bernarda Alba). Tragically, Lorca's life was cut short when he was executed in 1936 during the Spanish Civil War, making him a symbol of the struggle for artistic and personal freedoms in Spain.
