«La casa de Bernarda Alba» is the drama by Federico García Lorca, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
The play centres on Bernarda Alba, an authoritarian widow who imposes a strict mourning period on her five daughters and shuts them inside her house to control their lives. The arrival of a suitor, Pepe el Romano, unleashes tension and rivalry among the sisters, leading to a tragic outcome. The drama explores repression, desire and frustration in a traditional, oppressive society, and constitutes a portrait of the female condition in rural Spain in the early twentieth century.
The edition, published in 2012, is part of the El libro de bolsillo collection, within the Biblioteca García Lorca. The text has been rigorously established by Mario Hernández.
A work commonly read in schools and universities, as well as an essential classic of 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.
