The man she has loved since childhood is hot-blooded Leonardo, but his family are hated by her own folk, and he marries someone else. Then, on her wedding-night, Leonardo carries her off on horseback, pursued by the men of the two shamed families. The two rivals meet in the moonlight in a fight to the death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLorca said the only hope for happiness lies in 'living one's instinctual life to the full'. And: 'To burn with desire and to remain silent is the greatest punishment we can inflict on ourselves.' Blood Wedding explores the tragic intensity of lived, instinctual passion. For Brendan Kennelly, this involves a return to the very origins of drama: 'The pure pulsing sense of the mysterious nature of life before we learn to explain things almost out of existence . \u003cem\u003eBlood Wedding\u003c\/em\u003e is a drama of agonised and bewildering revelation.' Lorca has a searing realisation of the power of desire. Brendan Kennelly rises to the challenge of how to convey this in an English translation. In language at once soaring and accurate, wild and precise, he does justice to Lorca's tragic vision of the nature and consequences of lived desire. His version of \u003cem\u003eBlood Wedding\u003c\/em\u003e reveals the mysterious, intricate, passionate and truly astonishing nature of Lorca's masterpiece. Brendan Kennelly's versions of Euripides' \u003cem\u003eThe Trojan Women\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMedea\u003c\/em\u003e, and Sophocles' \u003cem\u003eAntigone\u003c\/em\u003e, are published by Bloodaxe Books in his drama trilogy \u003cem\u003eWhen Then Is Now: Three Greek Tragedies \u003c\/em\u003e(2006). His version of Lorca's \u003cem\u003eBlood Wedding\u003c\/em\u003e was premi red by Northern Stage in Newcastle and Derby in autumn 1996. His \u003cem\u003eAntigone\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Trojan Women\u003c\/em\u003e were both first performed at the Peacock Theatre, Dublin, in 1986 and 1993 respectively; \u003cem\u003eMedea\u003c\/em\u003e premi red in the Dublin Theatre Festival in 1988, toured in England in 1989 and was broadcast by BC Radio 3.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49542007947537,"sku":"GOR003388108","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49547726815505,"sku":"GOR002920696","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0729300838.jpg?v=1751263309"},{"product_id":"surrealsm-and-spain-1920-1936-book-c-b-morris-9780521294577","title":"Surrealsm and Spain 1920-1936","description":"One of the countries most directly affected by surrealism was Spain, and this book traces the processes by which this influence reached Spain and was taken up by Spanish writers and artists. Mr Morris concentrates firstly on the French works which influenced the Spaniards, and secondly on the themes, motifs, moods and techniques which appeared as a result in Spanish and Catalan - principally poetry and other literature, but also painting and film. An important feature of the book is the inclusion of a substantial collection of documentary materials on surrealism in Spain, poems, lectures and other writings, in French, Spanish and Catalan. This material, much of it not easily available elsewhere, is essential to a full understanding of the effects of the movement in Spain. Spanish and Catalan verse quotations appear in the original language with a prose gloss at the foot of the page, whilst prose is given in translation.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51003077001489,"sku":"NIN9780521294577","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52433688690961,"sku":"NLS9780521294577","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0521294576.jpg?v=1751326282"},{"product_id":"generation-of-spanish-poets-1920-1936-book-c-b-morris-9780521294812","title":"A Generation of Spanish Poets 1920-1936","description":"This critical study of the group of remarkably talented poets who flourished in Spain between the First World War and the Spanish Civil War includes copious quotations accompanied by English prose translations. Mr Morris treats his poets as a group, showing how they shared certain themes and attitudes. He begins with a general study of the generation as a whole and then examines the use of tradition; the zest and levity of the Jazz Age; the exaltation of life as a shared attitude; then its converse; the escape from life; and finally the expression in complex imagery of personal tensions and disturbances. These are often 'difficult' poets, but become less so when they are sympathetically examined in this way and in relation to earlier literary traditions. Mr Morris enables the reader to take bearings and establish relationships which are enhanced by reproductions of photographs of the poets.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51003089846545,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51003092402449,"sku":"NIN9780521294812","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52120578031889,"sku":"NLS9780521294812","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0521294819.jpg?v=1750976120"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-c-b-morris.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
