One of the most significant playwrights and novelists of the early twentieth century
<P>
This volume of translations contains Divine Words, a play that draws on pagan, Celtic traditions of the playwright's native Galicia and the repressive Catholicism of Spain to present a distorted picture of rustic life at its cruellest and most hypocritical; Bohemian Lights, the play which first expounded Valle-Inclan's theory of the grotesque (esperpento) and Silver Face, the first in the trilogy of Savage Plays, distinguished by a similar sense of anarchy and amorality.
Ramon del Valle Inclan (1866-1936), the most pioneering Spanish dramatist of this century... anticipates most of the key movements in modern drama. He is notoriously unclassifiable but was both an Expressionist and an Absurdist before the event. He created a genre he called 'esperpento' which broadly means grotesque tragi-comedy, and what is fascinating is that he anticipates Beckett, Ionesco, Genet and Arrabal without in any way sacrificing his own radical utopianism. He is one of the seminal figures in modern drama: erotic, anarchic and a Galician poet of the grotesque." (Michael Billingon, Guardian)

Etat : Very Good. : Este volumen de traducciones contiene Divine Words, una obra que se basa en las tradiciones paganas y celtas de la Galicia natal del dramaturgo y el catolicismo represivo de España para presentar una imagen distorsionada de la vida rústica en su forma más cruel e hipócrita; Bohemian Lights, la obra que expuso por primera vez la teoría de Valle-Inclán de lo grotesco (esperpento) y Silver Face, la primera de la trilogía de Savage Plays, que se distingue por un sentido similar de anarquía e inmoralidad. Ramón del Valle Inclán (1866-1936), el dramaturgo español más pionero de este siglo. anticipa la mayoría de los movimientos clave del drama moderno. Es notoriamente inclasificable, pero fue tanto un expresionista como un absurdo antes del evento. Creó un género que llamó 'esperpento' que significa ampliamente tragicomedia grotesca, y lo que es fascinante es que anticipa a Beckett, Ionesco, Genet y Arrabal sin sacrificar de ninguna manera su propio utopismo radical. Es una de las figuras seminales del drama moderno: erótico, anárquico y un poeta gallego de lo grotesco.
