About the Book

Un libro único

«La gran dibujante y contadora de historias que es Ilu Ros aborda ahora la vida y obra de Federico García Lorca. Su Federico está lleno de pasión, arte, vida y poesía. Un fino y riguroso trabajo documental que ilustra con su trazo libre, evocador, personalísimo. Una joya.»-Elvira Lindo

«Sabemos mucho de él, pero ¿cómo imaginarnos a Federico? Haciendo que las palabras de sus labios regresen al interior de sus sentimientos y sus razones. Eso es lo que hace Ilu Ros. Propone una cita con García Lorca que es un diálogo generacional, una mirada del presente al pasado y del pasado al presente. La palabra hoy lleva en su interior un mundo ilustrado.»-Luis García Montero

Federico solo hay uno. No le hacen falta apellidos. Un nombre que reconocen tanto niños como adultos, que suena a duende, a cante jondo y a romance popular, pero también a la vanguardia más rompedora. Un nombre que encarna la alegría y las sombras de España, la época más brillante de nuestra cultura desde la Edad de Oro, pero también la guerra y la vergüenza de un pueblo que nunca podrá perdonarse la muerte del poeta que más lo representaba.

En este libro escuchamos las voces de aquellos que lo conocieron, desde su familia cercana hasta la legión de amigos y amigas que lo frecuentaron en sus años granadinos, en las juergas líricas de la Residencia de Estudiantes o a lo largo de su intensa vida literaria. Y, por supuesto, la suya propia: la del poeta, la del dramaturgo, la del conferenciante, con la claridad de unas ideas que hoy tienen la misma fuerza, y, por n, la voz desnuda del hijo, del hermano y del amante enamorado. Ilu Ros fusiona voces y palabras con sus ilustraciones, que nos arrastran como la magnética personalidad de Federico García Lorca: icono de generaciones pasadas, presentes y futuras.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A unique book.

"The great artist and storyteller Ilu Ros addresses the life and work of Federico García Lorca. Her Federico is full of passion, art, life, and poetry. It is a fine and rigorous documentary work, illustrated with her free, evocative, and very personal style. It's a jewel." --Elvira Lindo

"We know much about him. But how do we create a picture of Federico? By making the words from his lips return to the depths of his emotions and motives. This is what Ilu Ros does. She schedules a date with García Lorca, a generational dialogue, an insight from the present to the past, and from the past to the present. The word 'today' carries an illustrated world inside." --Luis García Montero

There is only one Federico. He doesn't need any last names. It is a name known to both children and adults alike. A name that carries the sound of duende, of cante jondo, of a romance of the people, but that is also at the most game-changing avantgarde. A name that embodies the joys and shadows of Spain, the most brilliant time in our culture since the golden age, as well as the war and the shame of a people that will never forgive itself for the death of its most distinctive poet.

Within these pages we hear the voices of those who knew him, his closest relatives and the legion of friends that visited him during his years in Granada, in the lyric parties at the Students Residence, or throughout his intense literary life. And of course, his own voice, the voice of the poet, of the playwright, of the speaker, with ideas so clear, and just as strong today. It is the voice of the son, the brother, the lover. Ilu Ros blends voices and words with her illustrations, pulling at us just like Federico García Lorca's magnetic personality, icon of generations past, present, and future.
About the Author: Ilu Ros nació en Mula (Murcia) en 1985. Licenciada en Bellas Artes y Comunicación Audiovisual por la Universidad de Granada, no contempló la posibilidad de dedicarse al dibujo y la ilustración hasta que se fue a vivir a Londres en 2011. Ilu Ros encuentra su inspiración en lo cotidiano, las ciudades que visita, las personas que la rodean y las historias que le cuentan, los libros, las películas, los viajes en tren, la música que escucha... Le gusta buscar en las pequeñas cosas algo nuevo (o no tan nuevo) que contar.

Ha expuesto en la Galería Miscelanea de Barcelona y ha sido finalista del Poster Prize for Illustration, premio concedido por la Association of Illustrators y el London Transport Museum de Londres. En 2018 publicó su primer libro, Hey Sky, I'm on my Way: A Book About Influential Women (Nueva York, Lit Riot Press). Tras la publicación de Cosas nuestras (Lumen, 2020), alabado unánimemente por la crítica, seleccionado para representar la sección española de la Bienal de Ilustración de Bratislava 2021 y por el que fue nombrada Murciana del Año por el diario La Verdad, Lumen publica ahora Federico.
