La casa de Bernarda Alba constituye, sin ningún género de dudas, la pieza teatral más madura e impresionante de Federico García Lorca. Este «drama de mujeres en los pueblos de España» —según lo subtituló el autor—, tan cargado de símbolos y de lenguaje poético como de realismo, presenta a unos personajes atormentados por el imperativo del qué dirán y por la sed íntima de una pasión que no pueden saciar. Amor de don Perlimplín con Belisa en su jardín es una farsa dieciochesca, aunque transida de extraordinaria complejidad psicológica. El amor y la muerte, ejes de la existencia humana, transfiguran al aparentemente ridículo personaje central de la pieza hasta elevarle al plano de lo heroico.

Author · 81 books
Born in Fuente Vaqueros, Granada, Spain, June 5 1898; died near Granada, August 19 1936, García Lorca is one of Spain's most deeply appreciated and highly revered poets and dramatists. His murder by the Nationalists at the start of the Spanish civil war brought sudden international fame, accompanied by an excess of political rhetoric which led a later generation to question his merits; after the inevitable slump, his reputation has recovered (largely with a shift in interest to the less obvious works). He must now be bracketed with Machado as one of the two greatest poets Spain has produced in the 20th century, and he is certainly Spain's greatest dramatist since the Golden Age.
