Written in 1934, Yerma is one of Federico García Lorca's most iconic plays, focusing on the profound issue of motherhood. The story follows a young woman obsessed with conceiving, whose struggle against the impossibility of becoming a mother leads her to break with social norms and marital authority in pre-war rural Spain. This edition, part of the Amaranta Collection, explores with lucidity how sexual morality and repression shape female identity. It is an intense tragedy that questions the limits of honor and personal frustration, establishing itself as a fundamental piece of 20th-century Spanish theater.
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.
