Lorga was born in Fuente Vaqueros, a small village ten miles outside Granada. His father owned 100 hectares of land, equivalent to 1,500 acres. According to Chinese class classification, he must be a large landowner. Three years after his first wife died of illness, he married a female primary school teacher. Nine months and nine days after their marriage, on June 5, 1898, Lorga came into this world. As an adult, Lorca beautified her childhood into an idyllic ideal life. It is not unreasonable to say that her family is wealthy and harmonious, her parents value education, and her brother and sister have a deep relationship. However, compared with his younger brother, he has never been a good student, especially after entering college, he often failed the exam. For many years, this became a worry for my parents.

Three teachers had the greatest influence on Lorga in his early years. The first one is piano teacher Antonio Segum Mesa. He is a cautious old man who rarely goes out except for taking lessons at Lorga's house. He devoted his life to music and composed music and operas, but none of them were successful. He was kicked off the stage when the opera premiered. He often said to Lorca: "I can't reach the clouds, but that doesn't mean the clouds don't exist." They sat in front of the piano, and Mesa analyzed the works of the master and his own. It was he who made Lorca realize that art is not a hobby, but a call to death. One day, when Lorga was playing Beethoven's sonata at the Art Center, a young law professor passed by and was attracted by his talent. He stepped forward and introduced himself. Lorca soon became a welcome guest in his house. This is the second teacher Femandodelos Rios, who later became the Minister of Justice and Minister of Education of the Second Republic of Spain. He loved gypsy music and bullfighting, and was fluent in several foreign languages. He founded a left-wing political party, supported the labor movement, and fought against local corrupt political forces. It was he who awakened Lorca's awareness of social justice. When he was taking an art history class at the age of seventeen, Lorca was fascinated by Martin Dominguez Berrueta, who later became his third teacher. He is a stubborn little man and will lose his temper if anyone challenges his ideas. He advocated full participation in student life, even including romantic and private affairs. Realizing the limitations of Granada, he decided to take six outstanding students on excursions to various parts of Spain twice a year so that they could "understand and love Spain."

In two years, Lorga participated in four cultural tours. Not only did he gain a lot of knowledge, but he also met some important people through his teachers, including Machado. Based on his travels, he completed a collection of essays, Impressions and Landscapes. He dedicated this book to his piano teacher Mesa. He sent the new book to Boruda's house. The teacher opened the book and glanced at it. He became furious and ordered him to leave immediately. He returned the book to him two weeks later. Lorca was unconvinced. In his opinion, Boruda is an art critic, not an artist, and what he wants to follow is a real creator like a piano teacher. Boruda died of illness two years later. Lorga was so sad that he publicly expressed his guilt and privately said to the teacher's son: "I will never forgive myself." During their first trip, they were lucky enough to get to know Machado. He recited his own and other people's poems for Boroda and his party, and Lorca played a piano piece. That meeting made Lorga very excited. Machado told him that poetry was a melancholic medium and that the poet's mission was solitary. Lorca borrowed Machado's collection of poems from a friend, and he wrote a poem on the title page with a purple pencil. The main idea is that poetry is the impossible that makes the possible. Like music, it is a visible record of invisible desires. , the body created by the mystery of the soul, the sad relic of everything an artist has ever loved.

On June 5, 1918, Lorga turned twenty. On the third day after his birthday, he learned of the death of his childhood friend. He had been troubled by thoughts of death all summer. Then, the Spanish Flu killed 20 million people around the world. At the beginning of 1919, the country was in chaos, with strikes and demonstrations happening everywhere. In Granada, workers clashed with their employers, and Lorga and friends joined the movement to defend workers' rights. Teacher Leiworth received an anonymous threatening letter. On February 11, not far from Lorga's home, military police opened fire on a college student parade, killing a medical student and two civilians, and the authorities declared martial law. Although he wanted to support the labor movement, Lorga was frightened by the bloody violence. He huddled in his parents' house, not even daring to look down the street from his balcony. A good friend came to his window every day and loudly announced the progress of the situation.

In the spring of 1919, under Machado's advice and the instigation of his friends, he left his hometown and moved to the capital Madrid. On the recommendation of Revos, he was admitted to the residential college (Residencia) known as the "Spanish Oxbridge". It is fully equipped, cleaned and provided with meals. Lorca soon became the central figure in the salon here, reciting poetry and playing impromptu piano music. An admirer recalled: His fingers were electrified, and it seemed as if music flowed from his body. That was the source of his power, the secret of magic. There is a young man named Luis Bunuel in the boarding college who likes sports, pranks, women and jazz. He admired Lorca in particular and always hung out with him and listened to him reciting poems. “He introduced me to another world,” he recalled. Together they drank heavily and had fun in Madrid. Burnell later became Spain's most famous film director.

In the summer of 1921, Lorga was tired of the dull school life and often went to a tavern within the walls of the Arabian Palace with friends to gather. The owner's son is a guitarist and plays deepsong, an ancient Andalusian gypsy folk song that was replaced by flamenco in the 19th century. Surrounded by numerous ancient towers, they listened to the cries of deep songs. There was a little bald man attending the party. He was Faia, a famous Spanish composer. Lorga and his gang are clamoring for a music café, while Faya proposes a deep song festival. They met two years ago and became friends until the night of deep singing. On the surface, the two men are far apart. Middle-aged Faya is timid and eccentric: he is afraid of even brushing his teeth; he sleeps on a narrow bed in a storeroom-like hut with a cross hanging above his head; he says mass every morning before work. He is a workaholic who considers his genius to be a gift from God. In Faya's opinion, deep songs are authentic. To find the source, he takes Lorga to a gypsy cave. On New Year's Eve in 1921, Lorga hired a street band, tiptoed to Faia's window, and suddenly played a serenade under Lorga's conductor. Faia was laughing so hard she could barely open the door. Late at night, Faia asked a small band to play their music four times, accompanied by him on the piano. He and Faya were busy preparing for the Shenzhen Song Art Festival and traveled the streets in search of singers for the competition. At the same time he began to write. In early November 1921, he wrote twenty-three poems in ten days, and eight more by the end of the month. This group of poems is named "Collection of Deep Songs".

On June 7, 1922, two days after his twenty-fourth birthday, Lorca recited "Deep Song" in a hotel in Granada. A week later, the Shenge Art Festival kicked off at the Alhambra Palace, attracting nearly 4,000 spectators in traditional costumes. The singers participating in the competition came on stage one by one, with castanets blaring, guitars throbbing, and bursts of crying coming from the gypsies. They followed the chants and danced, mesmerized. It rained heavily the next night, people put chairs on their heads, and the game went on as usual. Lorca told a local reporter: "I tell you, dear friend, this deep song competition is unique. It is a competition with the moon and the rain, just like the sun and the shadow in the bullfight."

In the spring of 1923, Lorga barely passed the university graduation exam and a week later went to Madrid with his brother. In the boarding school, a young painter named Salvador Dali came into his sight. They were inseparable immediately: walking, visiting museums, going to bars, and listening to jazz. Once, Dali sold a second-rate work to a South African couple. In their excitement, they called two taxis back to the college, taking the first one and letting the other empty one follow. This move was imitated by the rich kids in Madrid and became popular for a while. Due to the mutual projection of ambition and the strong attraction to each other's talents, their relationship quickly developed from friendship to love. During the Easter holiday of 1925, Lorga was invited to visit Dali's family. They lived in a beautiful town on the Mediterranean. Darri's sister, Ana Mafia, is, according to Lorca, "one of those girls whose beauty drives you crazy." The three of them walked along the beach. Dalí looked at the light, the clouds, and the sea, and Lorca recited his new work. One afternoon, as they sat around the dinner table, Lorga read his new script, and Ana was moved to tears. Dali's father claimed that he was the greatest poet of this century. Lorga returned to Granada, almost desperately missing those good times. Darry served in the army near Barcelona. They wrote frequent letters, and their friendship was endless. Lorca wrote the poem "Ode to Salvador Dalí", in which Dalí called him "the only genius of our time".

Lorga knew the dangers of homosexuality, especially in a Catholic country. He must learn to disguise himself to avoid punishment from social conventions.

In May 1927, Lorga came to Barcelona to participate in the rehearsal of his new play. Dali, who is serving in the military, sneaks back to be with him whenever he has time. They wandered the streets, lost in lively discussions about art and aesthetics. Darry creates stage designs for his new play. On June 1, 1927 was undoubtedly an important year in the history of Spanish literature. In memory of the Spanish poet Luis de Gongola, the performance was a huge success. On the 300th anniversary of Gongom's death, Lorca and his friends held a series of activities. Machado, Faia, Picasso and Dali responded enthusiastically. In Madrid, young people burned the books of Gongola's enemies. ; Because of the neglect of Gonguera by the Spanish Academy, they peed on the walls of the Academy in the middle of the night. The climax was a three-day commemorative event in Seville, to which Lorca and several other young poets were invited. A group of six people boarded the train and made a noisy journey to Seville late at night. They were greeted by retired bullfighter Ignacio Sanchez Meiias. He was a connoisseur of literary appreciation and could recite almost all the poems of Gonguera. He was a charming man with a muscular body and a face scarred by bullfights. He took his guests to his farm in the countryside, dressed them in Arabic robes, and opened glasses of champagne. Friends sang deep songs, Lorca and friends recited poems, and there were three days of formal commemoration, including speeches and interviews and photo interviews with local newspapers. There was also a flowing feast, where they drank every day in the company of Seville friends. Until dawn. The Tricentenary of Gonguera contributed to the birth of the "Twenty-Seventh Generation" of Spanish poetry. After his trip to Seville, it is said that he painted himself as a celestial being. The largest planet orbited by satellites.

From the spring to early summer of 1928, Lorca was busy compiling his "Gypsy Ballads", which was published in July and was an unexpected success. Recite chants. Vicente Aleixandre, who later won the Nobel Prize, wrote in his congratulatory letter: "I believe in your pure and inimitable poetry. I believe you are exceptional. "The Ballad of the Sleepwalker" is one of Lorca's masterpieces. In the spring of 1928, Lorga had a new boyfriend, Emilio Aladren, a student majoring in sculpture at the Madrid School of Fine Arts. Lorga He took him to public places, went to restaurants and bars, and paid for him. Alajun spoke freely and leaked his and Lorga's privacy, which caused a lot of gossip in the city. Dali had obviously heard the rumors, and he and Lorga. In early September 1928, he wrote a seven-page letter to Lorca, harshly criticizing his newly published "Gypsy Ballads": "You think some of the images are quite seductive. , or feel like there’s an increased dose of irrationality, but I can tell you, you’re not much better than the schematic platitudes of the law-abiding kind. "Dali believed that Lorca should escape from reality. The main point of the letter appeared in the article "Reality and Surreality" published soon. In this article, he further emphasized: "Surrealism is escape. Another meaning. "Burnell, his former partner, formed a new alliance with Darri. He made a special trip to visit Darri, and they began to collaborate on a surrealist film. In front of Darri, Burnell cursed Lorga. They used It took a week to complete the first draft of the film. One of the principles of their creation was that no image should be interpreted rationally. Burnell wrote to a friend: "Dari and I have never been so close. "Arajun turned out to be bisexual. He suddenly got a girlfriend, and he and Lorga parted ways. In loneliness, Lorga began to look for new friends. He met Chilean diplomat Caros Morla Lynch and his wife. , and soon became a guest in their house. “He would come and go often, stay for lunch and dinner—or even stay there—to take a nap, sit in front of the piano, open the piano lid, sing, close it, and read poems to us. Went and came again. "Lynch, who has been keeping a diary since childhood, wrote.

Lorga was on the verge of a mental breakdown, almost to the point of suicide. He needed a change in his life. At the beginning of that year, someone arranged for him to go to the United States and Cuba The plan was finalized in early April to give a speech. He would receive his passport on his thirty-first birthday with his teacher Revers.

They took a train to Paris, transferred to England, and from there took a boat to the United States. "Move forward!" he wrote, "I may be insignificant, but I believe that I am destined to be loved by others."

On June 26, 1929, the wind was sunny and sunny. The "Olympic" liner skirted the top of Manhattan, sailed upstream, passed through the gray buildings of Wall Street, and anchored at the pier. Lorga looked around in surprise. He wrote to his parents that Paris and London were impressive, but that New York "knocked me off my feet." He also wrote: "The whole of Granada can only be filled with two or three high-rise buildings here." Two days after arriving, he came to Times Square in the middle of the night and marveled at the brightly lit spectacle: everything in New York is man-made. Darry’s aesthetics of the mechanical age became a reality. His overall impression of Americans is: friendly, open and childlike. "They were incredibly naive and very helpful." And the American political system failed him. Democracy, he told his parents, meant "only the very rich could hire maids." It was the first time in his life that he sewed buttons by himself. At Revers' urging, he quickly enrolled at Columbia University and settled in a student dormitory. He pretended to like school in letters to his parents, but in fact he learned almost no English in the United States. He could only say "ice cream" and "Times Square" in a weird way, and order ham and eggs in restaurants. He later told others that while in New York he ate almost exclusively ham and eggs. He fooled around in English class, imitating his teacher's gestures and accent. His favorite thing to say in English is "I don't understand anything." He worries that English, as a new language, will usurp the territory of his mother tongue. Visits from certain Spanish celebrities gave him the confidence to take charge of his own affairs. He received Meas, the bullfighter he had met in Seville. He introduced Meas to his New York audience.

Harlem in the 1920s was the Paris of black Americans. Lorga became obsessed with Harlem and jazz, often hanging out in jazz bars there. From time to time, he raised his head and muttered: "This rhythm! This rhythm! It's great!" He believed that jazz and deep music are very similar, and both are rooted in Africa. Only through music can we truly understand black culture; like the Gypsies, black people used music and dance to endure suffering. "America has nothing but black art, only mechanization and automation," he said. Six weeks after arriving in the United States, he began writing his first poem, "The King of Harlem." He later wrote that the trip to New York "enriched and transformed the poet's work since he faced a new world alone." When the night was quiet, he would often stroll to the Brooklyn Bridge and look out at the night view of Manhattan. Then in the darkness before dawn, he would return to his residence in Columbia and write down his impressions. He doesn't fit in with his American neighbors in the dormitory. He told his parents: "This is a true savage, maybe because there is no class." He locked himself up, either writing or doing nothing, lying in bed all day, refusing visitors, and not getting up to answer the phone.

October 29, 1929 was the famous "Black Tuesday" in history, that is, the New York stock market crash. During this period, Lorga and Revos went to the Wall Street stock market together and witnessed the disaster. Lorca hung around there for seven hours. Afterwards, he wrote to his parents: "I simply couldn't leave. Wherever I looked, there were men screaming and arguing like animals, and women sobbing. A group of Jews were crying on the stairs and in the corner." On the way home, he witnessed He found the body of a man who committed suicide by jumping from a hotel in Midtown Manhattan. He wrote: "This scene gave me a new version of American civilization, and I found it all very logical. I am not saying that I liked it. But I looked at it all in cold blood, and I was glad that I was an eyewitness." He He was confident in the poetry he wrote in New York, which he considered his finest work. He often recited new works for his friends. “His voice rose to a scream and then dropped to a whisper, like the tide of the ocean carrying you away,” a friend said. These poems were later collected into a collection called "Poet in New York", which was not published until 1940.

After nine months in New York, Lorca arrived in Havana by ship on March 7, 1930, where a group of Cuban writers and reporters greeted him at the dock. Returning to the world of his native language, he felt at ease. In his first letter home he described Cuba as "caressing, fluid, and particularly sensual." Compared to New York, Havana is heaven. On the cobbled streets, the aroma of cigars and coffee mixes together, making people feel friendly. His recitations and speeches were successful. Almost every night I went to the bar with my friends, recited, and played the piano until dawn. Lorca returned to her homeland three months later.

On the streets of Granada, he met a priest whom he had known since college. The priest was shocked by the change in his appearance and asked if New York had changed his personality as well. "No," Lorga replied cheerfully, "I'm still me. New York's asphalt and oil can't change me." Being reunited with his family allowed him to truly relax. He read and wrote at night and wandered around the house in his nightgown during the day. He often lifted his white-haired mother up and exclaimed loudly, "Oh my God, you are killing me." When his mother took a nap, he sat next to her and fanned her to drive away the flies. He has been writing a new script. "The Spectator." Shortly after he completed the first draft, he returned to Madrid and a reporter from a newspaper asked him curiously: "It was a murder in six acts. he replied. "What is the purpose of the play? I don't mean the murder, but the work itself." "The reporter asked. "I don't know if it can really be produced. The protagonists of this play are a group of horses. "Amazing, Fetrigo." "The reporter murmured.

At the end of 1930, the political situation in Spain was once again turbulent. Revos and his comrades were imprisoned for a time. In prison, they issued a manifesto calling for the establishment of peace in Spain. Soon, the king announced the holding of national elections. One night, on the way to the cafe, Lorca was involved in a demonstration in support of peace. The gendarmes suddenly appeared and opened fire. The demonstrators fled and Lorga fell. He fell to the ground. When he appeared in front of his friends in the cafe, he was out of breath, his face was sweating, and he was covered in dirt. He was chewing his injured fingers and recounting his experience in a trembling voice.

< p>On April 14, 1931, the king finally left Spain, and the leaders of the Communist Party and the movement, including Revos, were released. The new period of the Spanish Second Republic began and Revos was appointed Minister of Justice. The new government immediately separated church and state and implemented a series of social and political reforms. Under the influence of the New Deal, the Cowherd Fountain Town government decided to replace the original Church Street with the name of their most proud son. Speaking at the naming ceremony held in his honor, Erga stressed that without books and culture, it would be impossible for the Spanish people to enjoy basic rights and freedoms. “If I lived on the street, I would not ask for a whole loaf of bread. It's half a loaf of bread and a book. "He looked at the sun-drenched square and the familiar faces of the villagers, and behind him was the white house where he was born thirty-three years ago. Lorga fully supported the new government. One night, he rushed into the apartment of Chilean diplomat Lynch , emotional. He wants to establish a national theater group called "Barraca" (1dBarraca), which refers to the kind of temporary wooden shed that performs puppet shows at country fairs. After the new government readjusted. Becoming the Minister of Education has promoted the realization of the "Balaka" plan, especially financial support. Lorga said of the "Balaka" master plan: "We want to move the drama out of the library and leave the scholars. Let them come to life in the sunshine and fresh air of the village square. "As the artistic director of the troupe, Lorga recruited troops and was personally responsible for selecting and rehearsing the performances. He and the actors wore blue overalls and sang songs through the streets. In more than two years, "Baraka" He traveled almost all over Spain and attracted countless ordinary people. He said: "For me, 'Barca' is all my work, it attracts me, even more exciting than my literary works. "During the years when "Barca" was active, he wrote little poetry. This does not seem to matter, drama satisfied him to some extent than poetry. "Barca" undoubtedly revitalized Spanish drama in the thirties. On the stage, he realized his lifelong dream.

At the beginning of 1933, a young man named Rafael Rodriguez Rapun came to the troupe. He was handsome, strong and had a kind of classical beauty. An engineering student at the University of Madrid, he turned to literature and occasionally wrote poetry. Four years later, on the anniversary of Lorga's death, Lapan defended the country. * Died on the battlefield in the War of the Republic. That summer, six thousand miles away, an Argentinian actress performed Lorca's play "Bloody Wedding" in Buenos Aires. She and her husband invited Lorca. Visit to Argentina. On September 28, Lorga sailed from Madrid to Barcelona and arrived in Argentina two weeks later. Unlike last time, he was excited to return to America and wrote to his parents that he had arrived. "Our America, the America of Spanish". The trip to Argentina was an unexpected success, and his play continued to receive rave reviews. "I am as famous as a bullfighter in this huge city." .

"He was surrounded by reporters and spectators, and was often recognized on the street.

Lorca only met Borges once. When they met, he obviously felt that Borges did not like him. So he deliberately imitated Borges and spoke solemnly of the "tragedy" of America embodied in a character. "Who?" Borges asked. "He replied. Borges left angrily. From then on, he always considered Lorca to be a "minor poet" and a writer "incompetent for passion". But he and Neruda hit it off. Neruda was Chilean at the time Consul in Buenos Aires. Neruda liked Lorca's richness and his strong appetite for life. They both came from the countryside and had a deep affection for Neruda. He respected Neruda's poetry very much and often asked what he was writing recently. When Neruda began to recite, Lorca would block his ears, shake his head and shout: "Stop! Stop! That's enough, don't read any more - you." Will affect me!" In addition to speaking fees, box office revenue continued to flow. For the first time in his life, Lorga had money. He began to send money home to buy fox fur coats for his mother. His mother wrote: "Nothing else wears fur. A woman is as proud and satisfied as me. This is a souvenir bought with the fruits of your labor. "

On the eve of leaving Buenos Aires, he went to visit Neruda. He said to his friends present: "After I stayed in the noisy New York for several months, I seemed to be quite strong when I left. Happy... Even though I am eager to see my relatives now, I seem to have left a part of myself behind in this strange city. he cried. Neruda broke the silence and changed the subject. The next day, he boarded a transoceanic ship bound for Spain. A week ago, he told reporters: "For myself, I still feel like a child. The feelings from my childhood are still with me. ”

April 14, 1934, was the third anniversary of the founding of the Second Spanish Republic. The new coalition government abolished many communist bills and restored religious education. Many Spanish People began to worry that the Catholic Church here would play a role in the rise of Hitler. That summer, Neruda was sent to Spain as a diplomat, first living in Barcelona and then in Madrid. Overnight. Lorca and Neruda often recited speeches together. They praised each other with eloquence; Lorca, in particular, was sometimes almost profligate - a prerogative of the talents of others. In a formal occasion, he introduced Neruda as one of the greatest Latin American poets today, a writer who is "closer to death than philosophy, closer to pain than intelligence, and closer to blood than ink." Da “lacks two elements that many pseudo-poets rely on for their livelihood: hatred and ridicule. Neruda believed that Lorca is "the guiding spirit of our language at the moment."

Lorga plans to perform with the troupe in Santander, a small town on the north coast, on August 11 One week. On the afternoon of that day, his good friend Meas was seriously injured in the bullring. He was admitted to a local hospital and then transferred to Madrid for rescue. After learning about Meas's injury, Lorga immediately canceled the original plan and stayed. Madrid. Due to the seriousness of his injuries, no outsiders were allowed to visit him. Lorga informed his friends of his condition promptly on the morning of August 13.

After he arrived in Santander, Meiyas closed the door alone and mourned. They had become good friends since they met in Seville. Meiyas was getting older and fatter, but he would rather die in the bullring than in his own bed. When Si returned to the bullring, Lorca told a friend: "He announced his own death to me. In Santander, while walking with a French writer, he said: "The death of Ignatius was also my own death, a disciple of death." I am amazed at my peace, maybe because I intuitively foresee all this happening?"

At the end of October 1934, Lorca began to write the longest poem of his life, "Ignatius Sánchez" "The Elegy of Meas". He started writing it between Granada and Madrid, and finally completed it in Neruda's apartment.

1934. In October 1935, the miners' uprising on the north coast of Spain was brutally suppressed by General Franco. In early May 1935, the cabinet was reorganized, including members of five far-right organizations, and Franco, who was serving in Morocco, was officially transferred. Appointed commander-in-chief. Soon, the conservative government cut off financial support, and "Balaka" fell into crisis while reciting and rehearsing.

He denounced the fascist tyranny in Germany and Italy, expressed solidarity with writers and artists from both countries, signed an open letter against the war in Ethiopia, and appealed for the imprisoned young poet Hernandez. During the opening of a new play in Barcelona, ??Darri's sister Ana came to visit him at the theater, more beautiful than ever. They went to sit in a café and talked about Darry. Lorga finally meets Darry for the first time in seven years. That autumn they often came and went. He takes every opportunity to prove his affection for his old friend. Once during a reading in a Barcelona bookstore, he specifically recited the song "Ode to Salvador Dali". They planned to collaborate on a book and paintings together, but this never came to fruition. A few months later, the friendship between the two reached a low point again.

On New Year's Day in 1936, Lorca received a New Year's card from the Cowherd Fountain signed by the mayor and nearly fifty villagers. It read: "As a true people's poet, you, You know better than others how to inject into your drama of profound beauty all the pain, the great tragedies endured by men, the injustices of life."

On June 5, Lorca passed away. Eighteenth birthday. He never wanted to grow up and looked back fondly on his childhood from time to time. A year ago, he told reporters: "It's still the same smile I had yesterday, the smile of my childhood, the smile of the countryside, the rough smile. I will always, always defend it until the day I die." He also joked, He was afraid of publishing a collection of poetry in New York, which would make him old. The political situation in Spain further deteriorated and it was on the verge of civil war. In Madrid, right and left parties assassinate and kidnap each other, leaving blood on the streets. Apart from the conflict in Granada in 1919, Lorca never experienced violence as bloody as that in Madrid in early July. He became increasingly neurotic. He would always ask the taxi driver to slow down, shouting: "We're going to have an accident!" He would hold his friend's arm when crossing the street, ready to jump back onto the sidewalk at any moment. On July 13, after learning of the assassination of a right-wing leader, Lorga decided to leave Madrid immediately. He and a friend drank brandy almost all day long. He puffed out his cigarette excitedly and said: "There will be corpses everywhere here." He paused and said, "No matter what, I want to go back to Granada." At nine o'clock in the evening, he rang the doorbell of his elementary school teacher's house. When asked by the teacher, he replied: "I just came to borrow two hundred pesos. I want to take the ten-thirty train back to Granada. A thunderstorm is coming and I want to go home. I will hide there. Lightning." The local newspaper published his news the day after he returned home. The Spanish Civil War begins. On July 20, soldiers supporting the right-wing Granada fortress revolted, occupied the airport and city hall, and arrested the provincial governor and the newly elected mayor, who was Lorca's brother-in-law. Three days later, they had complete control of the situation. Arrests were being made everywhere and people were executed every day.

Phalangist detachments searched Lorga’s house one after another. The third time they pushed Lorga down the stairs and beat and cursed her. After they left, Lorca called Luis RosMes, a young friend who wrote poetry. His three brothers were all hard-core Falangists. Josales came immediately. He proposed three plans: first, to escape to an area controlled by the Communist Party; second, to take shelter in the Faya family, which has always been conservative; third, to move to their home for a short period of time until the situation stabilizes. The third option seems the safest. That night, his father ordered his driver to take Lorga to Josales' home in the center of Granada.

On August 15, the Falange stormed into Lorga's house again and threatened to take Lorga's father away if he did not reveal his whereabouts. Desperate, his sister told the truth. The next morning came the news that Lorca's brother-in-law had been executed. At one o'clock in the afternoon, a car stopped in front of Josales' house, and three officers got out. The leader was Ruiz Alonso, a congressman from the former right-wing organization. He had long hated Lorga. Josales's mother stopped him and made phone calls, and finally found a son. The son came and asked Lorga what crime he had committed. "He does more harm with a pen than those who use a pistol," Alonso replied. Lorga was taken away and first imprisoned in the government building in the city center. In the early morning of the 18th, he was transferred to a small village at the foot of the northwest mountain and imprisoned in the old palace with a middle school teacher and two bullfighters. The caretaker was a devout Catholic. He told them they were going to be executed and asked them to say their last prayers. "I didn't do anything!" Lorca cried, and he tried to pray. "My mother taught me all that, you know, and now I've forgotten it all." The four prisoners were loaded into trucks and driven to a clearing at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by olive groves. Before dawn, there was a burst of gunfire, and Lorca was shot dead by the nationalists.
