Criticas
Highly revered poet and dramatist Garcia Lorca (b. 1898) was murdered by Spain's Nationalists in 1936, at the beginning of the Spanish civil war. This tragic and poetic play, on which his international reputation was founded, was inspired by a newspaper fragment that told of a family feud and a bride who ran away with the son of the enemy family. As the wedding ends in a duel and the moon turns the color of blood, Garcia Lorca explores the constraints and commitments of the rural Spanish community in which the play is rooted. Also part of the "Cara & Cruz" series, this edition includes essays and biographic information about the author. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
