Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Lorca is misunderstood by small minds
I find it quite amazing that readers find themselves capable of disregarding a playwright's work simply because they have read what could well be a bad edition! This edition of Lorca's Yerma and Blood Wedding is definitely not among the best I have read; others do more justice to the original works. Obviously, much of the content and passion is lost upon translation. I have had the privilege of reading most of Lorca's work in Spanish and must say that he is indeed one of the most influential and talented playwrights (and poets) of our time. Lorca's work is infused with the beauty and passion of the Spanish people and culture and it is quite difficult for us considerably less emotional Americans to understand, let alone feel the intensity of such power; again, this has a lot to do with reading it in English.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - He captures human nature and sexuality very passionately!
I read the review of comyking@home.net and I think that you need to develop literary skills(An education perhaps?!). Maybe then you will undrstand what literature is about. Yerma and La casa de Bernada Alba are two of the most fascinating books I have ever read. They depict the life and frustrations faced by females in an era when chastity, "social stauts and appearance" influenced a woman's life. I think these books are extremely interesting and insightful. One must have an exceptional literary background to appreciate this type of literature.



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - I did not like it at all.
The book was trash. It had no plot, no story, and no action. I couldn't wait to put it down it was so bad, but I had jury duty and there was nothing else to do. I wish I had brought a different book. PLEASE DO NOT GET CAUGHT IN THE SAME SITUATION!!! THIS BOOK IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - A great play in which many important themes are presented
This is one of Lorca's most interesting plays, in which a dominant and strict mother controls the lives of her daughters. Many themes are expressed in this play: social pressure, love, dominance, etc.
