Description
Yerma by Federico García Lorca is a powerful and emotive drama about a young peasant wife's struggle to embody her natural, moral, and social laws as a woman in motherhood. In this tragic tale, the protagonist's sole desire for childbearing is denied, leading to a devastating erosion of her personality. The play's strong feminist theme is intertwined with poetic imagery and lyricism, creating a haunting experience that continues to captivate audiences today. With its highly charged emotion and poignant portrayal of a repressive society, Yerma remains a thought-provoking work that explores the complexities of human desire and identity. This edition features the Spanish text alongside facing-page translation, introduction, and notes, providing a rich and nuanced understanding of Lorca's masterpiece.
