Review of Book on Spanish Novel (Translated)

Provided me with the help I needed in order to understand some of the archaic language used during that period.

Buena Obra De Teatro

Hola,Como estan?: Definitivamente puedo decir que Garcia Lorca es uno de mis autores preferidos,como estudiante de teatro,esta es una de sus mejore obras y de verdad que se las recomiendo. Personalmente amo el Trabajo de Garcia Lorca y por eso le doy un 5 stars. Espero qu ele guste esta obra tanto como me gusto a mi.

POWERFUL, ROMANTIC....

This is an incredible play, and it is hard to imagine that it was written so long ago, for it has an everlasting effect... It deals with culture, bitterness, love, loss, tragedy and family.It is above all a book about the great expectations a young girl has with life, and how her mother and sisters destroy them. It is a sad tale, but it is written in such a powerful way that you simply cannot put the book down without finishing it.Es un libro conmovedor que hable de la cultura, la familia, la tragedia, la separacion y el amor...Los personajes son muy reales, crudos y a veces muy crueles.Habla sobre una joven y sus suenos, asi como las consecuencias de sonar y de querer lograr mas de lo que se esperado. Es una historia triste y tragica pero escrita y manejada de una manera incomparable por un escritor brillante.

muy interesanta para los estudiantes de espaniol

i have read this play 3 times in classes for spanish language literature, and i just can't get enough. it is tough at times, vocabulary and such, BUT well worth it! tugs at the heartstrings and takes a good look at the way women were treated and considered in those times. buena suerte y si alguien quiere platicar conmigo de esta obra, mandame un email a [email protected]!

excellent

this was one of the best plays I ever read. I think it's really deep and intense, and it's excellently written
