«Terra baixa» is the play by Àngel Guimerà published by Edicions 62 in paperback (208 pages, in Catalan).
Set in rural Catalonia, the play presents Manelic, a simple shepherd from the mountains, and Marta, a young woman trapped by the interests of the local boss. The clash between the purity of the highlands and the corruption of the lowlands sustains a symbolic drama about innocence, oppression, and the search for freedom.

School edition, suitable for students of Catalan literature and for those who want to approach a classic of the theatre.
