Loading... Yermaby Federico García Lorca
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0713683260, Paperback)Yerma (meaning "barren") is one of three tragic plays about peasants and rural life that make up Federico Garca Lorca's "rural trilogy." It is possibly Lorca's harshest play following a woman's Herculean struggle against the curse of infertility. Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0719041317, Paperback)The second of Lorca's great trilogy of rural dramas, Yerma is a concentrated blend of contrasting moods through which Lorca charts the increasingly destructive obsession of a childless young country wife, and probes the darker zones of human fears and desires. The play's rich mode of expression- a powerful combination of verbal, visual and auditory images and rhythms- is also geared to celebrating sexual attraction and fertility, creation and procreation. Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0856683388, 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. (retrieved from Amazon Sat, 06 Sep 2008 02:37:35 -0400) |
