Yerma: A Tragedy in Three Acts($9.99Value)

Description

. Yerma , Federico García Lorca’s tragic masterpiece, is brought to life in a new, fluent translation that captures both the poetic intensity and stark rural realism of the original. Written in 1934, this play is the second of Lorca’s great rural trilogy ( Bodas de sangre , Yerma , La casa de Bernarda Alba ) and one of the most devastating portraits of unfulfilled desire in modern theatre. The story follows Yerma, a young woman in an oppressive rural society, whose desperation for a child grows into obsession and ultimately into tragedy. Lorca’s language—lyrical, haunting, and charged with symbolism—exposes themes of repression, passion, gender roles, and the suffocating weight of tradition.
