Spanish literature in Reclams Red Series: this is the Spanish original text - unabridged and unedited with word explanations at the bottom of each page, a postscript, and literary references. "Yerma," premiered in 1934, is the third - middle - of Lorca's 'rural tragedies,' of which "Bodas de sangre" and "La casa de Bernarda Alba" are already available in the Universal Library. Once again, it is about a love that fails against the conventions in a rural peasant environment, concerning what Lorca described as the tragedy of the childless, unfulfilled woman, who in her despair destroys her last chance for happiness. Spanish reading: level B1.
