«Terra baixa» is the play by Àngel Guimerà, published by Barcanova in hardback (159 pages, in Spanish).
The play contrasts the lowland, a space of oppression, misery and hypocrisy, with the highland, a place of freedom and purity. Manelic, a mountain shepherd, comes down to the lowland when he marries Marta and clashes with a world dominated by corruption and injustice, where he must fight to preserve his integrity.
The play was originally published in 1896. Edition by Sebastià Bech, from the Biblioteca Didàctica de Literatura Catalana collection.
Didactic edition, suitable for literature students and for those approaching Catalan theatre and the classics of modernism.
