A Rural Trilogy: Blood Wedding, Yerma, and The House of Bernarda Alba

Lumen presents a new way to approach 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 enhances the intensity of rural drama, repression, passion, and death in the Andalusian context. A volume that manages to present Lorca anew with freshness and renewed energy.

Critics describe it as a wonderful work and an editorial gem. Ilu Ros works from thorough research to create a powerful contrast between Lorca’s text and an expressive style, full of color and contemporary life.
