La psicomaquia juvenil de Federico García Lorca y la mística
The Psychomachy of Young Federico García Lorca and the Mysticism

Summary/Abstract: The oeuvre of young Federico García Lorca includes two volumes – Poesía inedita de juventud and Prosa inédita de juventud – published for the first time between 1994 and 2004. In the majority, the texts that both publications collect have a confessional character. Lorca tries to express in them his ineffable inner world where there is a conflict between the spirit and the body, doubts and the desire to believe, good and evil, Christian charity and meanness of man and, finally, a conflict between the individual and the society. The article focuses on the crisis that Lorca lives as a result of the dualistic vision of the human being, that is, as a result of the antagonism between the body and the spirit. We want to see how the young poet tries to overcome this opposition by the mysticism that is capable of introducing man to the world where such a division does not exist. In this reflection the poet is inspired by, among others, St. Teresa of Jesus and St. John of the Cross.
