It is possibly Lorca's harshest play following a woman's Herculean struggle against the curse of infertility. The woman's barrenness becomes a metaphor for her marriage in a traditional society that denies women sexual or social equality. Her desperate desire for a child drives her to commit a terrible crime at the end of the play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Federico Garcia Lorca\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Methuen Drama\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.12w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780713683264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e Spanish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFederico García Lorca was born in 1898, in Andalusia, Spain. A poet and\u003cbr\u003edramatist, and also a gifted painter and pianist, his early popular\u003cbr\u003eballads earned him the title of 'poet of the gypsies'. In 1930 he\u003cbr\u003eturned his attention to theatre, visiting remote villages and playing\u003cbr\u003eclassic and new works for peasant audiences. In 1936, shortly after the\u003cbr\u003eoutbreak of Civil War, he was murdered by Nationalist partisans. His\u003cbr\u003ebody was never found.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Federico Garcia Lorca \/ Paperback \/ Spanish","offer_id":67750749307037,"sku":"9780713683264","price":23.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_a81e070e-9bdb-49b8-bff8-e5e8fe93a3ff.jpg?v=1793175130","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/yerma-9780713683264","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
