A rural trilogy: Blood Wedding, Yerma, and The House of Bernarda Alba
Lumen presents a new approach to three rural tragedies by Federico García Lorca: Blood Wedding , Yerma , and The House of Bernarda Alba . Illustrated by Ilu Ros, each work comes to life through a vibrant visual reinterpretation that highlights the intensity of the rural drama, repression, passion, and death in the fertile Andalusian context. A volume that allows Lorca to "reintroduce himself" with freshness and renewed energy.
Critics agree in calling it a "marvelous work" and "an editorial gem." Ilu Ros draws on extensive research to create a powerful contrast between Lorca's text and expressive lines, full of color and contemporary life.
