Ifigenia (novel)

Ifigenia (in English Iphigenia: Diary of a Young Girl Who Wrote Because She Was Bored) is a 1924 Venezuelan novel by Teresa de la Parra.

Besides being a harsh criticism of society, Ifigenia is a fast-paced work with detailed descriptions.

The novel caused serious problems for the author because the Venezuelan dictator Juan Vicente Gómez denied her a grant to publish the book.

Meanwhile, Venezuelan filmmaker Iván Feo [es] filmed an eponymous movie in 1986.

In 2008, the channel RCTV prepared and transmitted a new version by writer Martin Hahn, starring Marianela Gonzalez and Hugo Vasquez.
