En septiembre de 1931 Federico García Lorca inauguró la biblioteca de su pueblo natal, Fuente Vaqueros, con un emocionante discurso de elogio al libro y la lectura como fuente de conocimiento frente a la ignorancia, como alimento espiritual más allá de las necesidades vitales, como horizonte de liberación individual y colectiva frente a la opresión del sistema económico y político, como ventana abierta a la cultura... Lorca se refiere al libro como la mayor obra de la humanidad y formula un repaso cronológico desde sus precedentes en piedra hasta las publicaciones actuales en papel, pasando por la invención de la imprenta, que califica de "revolución de las almas".

Born in Fuente Vaqueros, Granada, Spain, June 5 1898; died near Granada, August 19 1936, García Lorca is one of Spain's most deeply appreciated and highly revered poets and dramatists. His murder by the Nationalists at the start of the Spanish civil war brought sudden international fame, accompanied by an excess of political rhetoric which led a later generation to question his merits; after the inevitable slump, his reputation has recovered (largely with a shift in interest to the less obvious works). He must now be bracketed with Machado as one of the two greatest poets Spain has produced in the 20th century, and he is certainly Spain's greatest dramatist since the Golden Age.
