«La casa de Bernarda Alba» is the play by Federico García Lorca, published by Austral in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
After being widowed, Bernarda Alba imposes strict mourning on her daughters and shuts them inside the family home. Maternal authority clashes with desire, rebellion and the hypocrisy of the rural setting, while tension grows between confinement and freedom. García Lorca portrays the daily pain of subjugated women and social oppression in rural Spain.
This is the last play García Lorca finished, without ever seeing it performed. Edition by Elisabetta Sarmati with a preliminary study and textual commentary; Austral Educación collection.
Interest age from 14 years, especially for high school students and readers of classic Spanish theater.
Federico del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús García Lorca was a Spanish poet, playwright, and theatre director.
