«Bodas de sangre» is the theatrical tragedy by Federico García Lorca, published by Austral in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
A rural tragedy of lyrical and symbolic tone inspired by a real event: a bride flees with her former lover on the eve of her wedding, and the groom and the fugitive clash in a pursuit that leads to a tragic fate. The work combines prose and verse, and stands out for its omens, its poetic language and the strength of its female characters.
It is the first tragedy of the projected dramatic trilogy of the Spanish land and premiered in 1933. It includes Fernando Lázaro Carreter's introduction on the genesis of the work and its symbolism.
A classic work frequently read in schools, suitable for readers approaching twentieth-century Spanish theatre.
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.
