5.0 out of 5 stars Theatrics as the entry door to a societal expression.
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2017

Excellent book condition. I am not fluent in Spanish; discovered Lorca via the excellent movie: La luz Prodigiosa; decided to deepen the investigation via this book. Since it is published for students, the preamble has a breath of info on author, main characters, societal "rules," symbols and meaning, etc. Superb. Finally, the Spanish and English publishing of the text allows me to improve on the Spanish as I so desire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best adaptation
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2014
Verified Purchase
For high school students, it is a beautiful adaptation.
I found it user-friendly, while keeping the integrity of the story intact. It also keeps the
emotional moments of the characters in place. It was easy to cut into a One-Act version as required
for competition purposes.
Good work Ms Mann!

Very easy to follow - with English translation on the opposite page.

In general, very happy with the purchase. Once I finish it, will get the other plays by Lorca.

Lorca, probably the most famous Spanish writer of 20th century, good edition and deep story in the real Spanish Andalusia countryside.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 15, 2016

I have to study a novel as part of the new A-level exam...or rather my students do so we picked this one. I love to read for enjoyment but analysing a text is not one of my strengths so I bought this version to use with my A-level group as it seems the most student (and teacher) friendly. Also as the group happens to be all girls we thought this text would be the most interesting one for them to read of the texts on offer plus there are a number of resources "out there" to supplement it.
