«Bodas de sangre» is the play by Federico García Lorca, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback format (176 pages, in Spanish).
The play stems from a news item that appeared in the press: two lovers elope on the eve of the woman's wedding to another man. García Lorca turns that reality into dramatic poetry, with a longing for freedom, Andalusianism, symbolism and death, and the protagonists' torn passions are unleashed before the moon, a beautiful and terrible personification of death. This edition includes the editing and annotation by Allen Josephs and Juan Caballero.
It belongs to the Letras Hispánicas collection from Ediciones Cátedra, as number 231 in the series.
Recommended for secondary school students and for those approaching twentieth-century Spanish theatre and Lorca's work.
Federico del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús García Lorca was a Spanish poet, playwright, and theatre director. García Lorca achieved international recognition as an emblematic member of the Generation of '27, a group consisting mostly of poets who introduced the tenets of European movements into Spanish literature.
