El valor literario del Lázaro de 1555

Bodas de sangre is arguably the best-known work by the most celebrated of all twentieth-century Spanish writers. A passionate story of family feud and tragic elopement is played out in the setting of a poor country village, building up to a dramatic ending full of the intensely poetic symbolism characteristic of Lorca.

Seven middle-aged women, who have not seen each other for more than 30 years, are called to a class reunion at which they are forced to confront a terrible secret from their childhood.

El presente libro traza el mapa de la producción cultural española desde el año 1975, año en que finaliza el régimen dictatorial franquista y comienza el periodo de transición política, hasta el año 1990. Aborda temas como la periodicidad, la ideología, la escritura y la condición femenina, la posmodernidad, etc., tanto en la novela y la poesía como en el cine o el teatro.

Reviewers have celebrated this important volume as the first comprehensive critical appraisal of the 1997 Nobel Prize laureate for literature. The volume features an introduction, an extensive annotated bibliography, an index, and Aleixandre's Nobel Prize acceptance lecture.
