Fruto capital del universo lorquiano, esta obra sin comparación recoge la historia de Bernarda Alba, viuda por segunda vez a los sesenta años, y la historia de su relación con sus hijas, obligadas a sumirse en un luto que desencadenará una tragedia.

Considerada la obra más madura de Lorca, La casa de Bernarda Alba cierra la llamada trilogía de la tragedia --formada también por Bodas de sangre y Yerma--. Su carácter realista y la opresión en el pecho que se siente ante la represión de unas mujeres atrapadas en un frío infierno de luto, celos, silencio y sueños truncados se ha interpretado como un presagio de los oscuros tiempos que se avecinaban y en los que el propio Lorca se convertiría en una víctima prematura.

«Su corazón no era ciertamente alegre. (Lorca) era capaz de toda la alegría del Universo; pero su sima profunda, como la de todo gran poeta, no era la de la alegría. Quienes le vieron pasar por la vida como un ave llena de colorido, no le conocieron.» --Vicente Aleixandre, Premio Nobel de Literatura 1977

La presente edición escolar, a cargo del experto en García Lorca, Víctor Fernández, aporta toda la información que permite comprender ese contexto histórico a los estudiantes de bachillerato, al tiempo que facilita el análisis de las cualidades literarias de la obra.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Bernarda Alba is orthodox, overbearing, and single minded. She has complete control over her five daughters until the wealth of her eldest daughter, Angustias, attracts a suitor.

Her other daughters are jealous that Angustias--who is almost forty and is homely and sickly--is getting married and escaping the tyrannical reach of their mother. All of Bernarda's other daughters dream of escaping that house too, and some of them are willing to do anything to get away. Tensions rise as the sisters forsake their family ties and compete against each other for the one thing that can save them from their mother's rule: a man.

This school edition, by García Lorca expert Víctor Fernández, provides all the information that allows high school students to understand this historical context, while simplifying the work's analysis of its literary qualities.
