El CRIMEN que inspiró a FEDERICO GARCÍA LORCA

In the early hours of July 1928, in an isolated farmhouse in the Campo de Níjar region of Almería, a crime shook the entire area, leaving behind a trail of blood, silence, and conflicting accounts. What began as a family dispute linked to an arranged marriage soon became national news, and later, literary material. Today we will go beyond the legal proceedings to explore how this crime was assimilated by popular culture and became the subject of one of the most acclaimed works of contemporary Spanish literature. Let us examine, then, how the crime that inspired Federico García Lorca unfolded in Níjar. 🔴 SUBSCRIBE TO DEMIURGO 🔴    / demiurgoliteratura   SOCIAL MEDIA 🔵 Twitter 🔵   / demiurgo_lit   🟠 Instagram 🟠   / demiurgo_lit   --------------- Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:46 Background 02:52 Those Involved 04:21 The Crime 06:21 Repercussions 07:15 The Romance 10:51 The Novel 13:08 The Tragedy 15:07 Credits ----------- RESOURCES (Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.)
