Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 9875504157, Paperback)

In a remote Spanish village, Yerma longs for a child but is unable to conceive. This compelling and elemental tale of a woman's quest for a child taps into some of theatre's most universal themes-love, passion, sexuality, marriage. In this new translation, Pam Gems has stripped the text to the poetic core of Lorca's words in all their epic glory.
