«Andrómaca. Fedra» is the theatre volume by Jean Racine that brings together two tragedies, published by Altaya in hardback (375 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together two tragedies of French classical theatre: Andromache, the work that revealed Racine as a great playwright, and Phaedra, written ten years later and considered the summit of French theatre. Both stand out for their poetry and dramatic intensity.
It belongs to the Grandes Escritores collection by Altaya; edition published on 1 October 2005.
For readers interested in French classical theatre and the great tragedies of the 17th century.
Jean-Baptiste Racine was a French dramatist, one of the three great playwrights of 17th-century France, along with Molière and Corneille, as well as an important literary figure in the Western tradition and world literature. Racine was primarily a tragedian, producing such "examples of neoclassical perfection" as Phèdre, Andromaque, and Athalie. He did write one comedy, Les Plaideurs, and a muted tragedy, Esther, for the young.
