Title : The house of Bernarda Alba blood wedding - Federico Garcia Lorca - book Summary : Blood Wedding Lorca was inspired by a news item reported in July 1928. But it was only in 1931 that he began to compose his play. He finished it during the summer of 1932. Premiered on March 8, 1933 in Madrid where it was a great success, acclaimed for months in Buenos Aires, it toured the world and unfortunately its triumph obscured all the rest of Lorca's work, permanently associating his image for the majority with that of an exclusively Andalusian, folkloric author. Not that it lacks beauty: noble architecture, admirable scenes, but it betrays an excessive desire to flatter the public's taste with its declamatory frenzy and easy lyricism. The House of Bernarda Alba Starting from a childhood memory that had greatly impressed him, Lorca had set out to compose a simple "photographic documentary" without "a drop of poetry." But his genius decided otherwise. He made The House of Bernarda Alba, as his brother Don Francisco asserts, perhaps the most poetic of all his plays. By moving the action from the beginning of the 20th century to the eve of the Civil War, the first cracklings of which can be heard, he establishes a burning climate of demands and social unrest that extends to exploited domestics and all dominated women. The incandescent prose burns all the flowers of lyricism. And poetry from then on is called revolt. EAN: 9782070339068 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : The Last Herd - Maurice Genevoix - book Summary : The story of a deer, Le Rouge, who becomes the leader of the herd, and the strange fascination he exerts on another solitary of the forest, the huntsman La Futaie, until the final confrontation. "Hunting is nothing," wrote Maurice Genevoix, "if it is not first poetry. Poetry of the quest, of the pursuit and of adventure; instinctive and profound sympathy with the branch carrying clues, the trampled grass, the humus where an imprint is imprinted; with what hides, slips, slips away and escapes, but leaves behind a smell, a down, a flake that the thorn catches and which remains warm in the sun, alive with the passing breaths."
