Controversy still remains about the motives and details of Lorca's murder. While not considered likely by most historians, some believe that it was his gay personal life that was the reason for his death instead of his politics and the govenment. It's believed that he died in 1936 when soldiers dragged him into a field, shot him and tossed his body into an unmarked grave. Franco's government tried to obliterate Lorca's memory. His books were prohibited, his name forbidden. His poetry has been translated into a dozen languages and his name is known worldwide.
