======================
"The Violin and the Grave" includes 70 representative poems of Federico García Lorca, and two play excerpts. The selected works were written throughout his entire creative career.
Lorca is the most well-known Spanish writer in the world after Cervantes. His poems have long rhythms, delicate perceptions, and wonderful imaginations, which can be regarded as a perfect combination of traditional and modern techniques. The emotions between the lines are lonely and eager, blending the ultimate joy and sadness. His poetry and life are a remembrance and anticipation of a better era that Spain could have had. It is to remain humble and courageous in writing to resist injustice, to speak for the voiceless people at the bottom of society, to bring the art of drama to the most remote country fields, and to embrace the world from the standpoint of the nation - after all, in the end, the definition of love is one person embracing another.
