An unknown recent (last 30 years) translation of Lorca's Gipsy Ballads. Lorca's poems (in Spanish Romancero gitano) were written in 1928 and consists of eighteen romances with subjects like the night, death, the sky, and the moon. All of the poems deal with the Romani people and their culture, used by Lorca as a theme used to carry the larger message that the poet was trying to convey.
Condition
Good overall condition, with some light fading to the covers and corner creasing.
