<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Yerma is married to an honest man, but her life runs with blood. Written in 1934, the play tells the story of a childless woman in a time when women's value came entirely from bearing children. Her desperate desire for motherhood becomes an obsession that eventually leads her to commit a horrible crime. The dilemma of this work is Freudian in nature: If someone loves but does not have desire, can they make someone else happy and give her a meaningful life? At the same time, if she cannot articulate what she wants in the terms of modernity, we never know whether she wants to be a mother, wants to be desired, or wants to be fulfilled? Fortunately, the talent of Garcia Lorca goes above and beyond and creates a work that reveals new facets of personal growth and frustration with each reading<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Nacio en el municipio de Fuente Vaqueros, Granada (Espana), en el seno de una familia de posicion economica desahogada, el 5 de junio de 1898 y fue bautizado con el nombre de Federico del Sagrado Corazon de Jesus Garcia Lorca;su padre fue don Federico Garcia Rodriguez, un hacendado, y su madre, dona Vicenta Lorca, maestra de escuela que fomento el gusto literario a su hijo.
