Marta of the Lowlands or Terra Baixa is a three-act play written by Angel Guimera in 1902. The story is set in a small village in Catalonia, Spain, where Marta, a young and beautiful peasant woman, lives with her abusive and alcoholic husband, Joan. Despite her difficult circumstances, Marta remains optimistic and hopeful for a better life. One day, a wealthy landowner named Manelic arrives in the village and becomes enamored with Marta. He offers to take her away from her miserable life and provide her with a better future. However, Marta must choose between her loyalty to her husband and her desire for a better life. The play explores themes of love, loyalty, class, and societal expectations. It is considered a classic of Catalan literature and has been adapted into numerous films, operas, and plays.With An Introduction By John Garrett Underhill.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
