Publisher Description:
Fruto capital del universo lorquiano, esta obra sin parang n recoge la historia de Bernarda Alba, enviudada por segunda vez a los sesenta a os, y de sus hijas, obligadas a sumirse en un luto que desencadenar la tragedia.

Considerada la obra m s madura de Lorca, La casa de Bernarda Alba cierra la llamada trilog a de la tragedia -formada tambi n por Bodas de sangre y Yerma-. Su car cter realista y la opresi n en el pecho que se siente ante la represi n de unas mujeres atrapadas en un fr o infierno de luto, celos, silencio y sue os truncados se ha interpretado como un presagio de los oscuros tiempos que se avecinaban y en los que el propio Lorca se convertir a en una v ctima prematura.

No obstante, la presente edici n contrapone este texto tan magn fico como terrible a Los sue os de mi prima Aurelia, una comedia inacabada inspirada en la infancia del poeta y dramaturgo, que nos demuestra que no hab aabandonado la iron a y el sentido del humor.

Vicente Aleixandre dijo...
Su coraz n no era ciertamente alegre. Era capaz de toda la alegr a del Universo; pero su sima profunda, como la de todo gran poeta, no era la de la alegr a. Quienes le vieron pasar por la vida como un ave llena de colorido, no le conocieron.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Bernarda Alba is orthodox, overbearing, and single minded. She has complete control over her five daughters until the wealth of her eldest daughter, Angustias, attracts a suitor.

Her other daughters are jealous that Angustias--who is almost forty and is homely and sickly--is getting married and escaping the tyrannical reach of their mother. All of Bernarda's other daughters dream of escaping that house too, and some of them are willing to do anything to get away. Tensions rise as the sisters forsake their family ties and compete against each other for the one thing that can save them from their mother's rule: a man.
