One of the most significant playwrights and novelists of the early twentieth century
 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)

Sonata de Otoño By Ramón del Valle-Inclán

Ramón del Valle-Inclán Luces de Bohemia (Spanish Edition)

Autumn and Winter Sonatas completes the cycle begun with Spring and Summer Sonatas when the Marquis of Bradomin was at the height of his powers. The scene has shifted, however, from verdant Italy and steamy Mexico to rainy Galicia and to wintry Navarre and the court of the pretender Carlos during the final Carlist War. Valle-Inclan's last two Sonatas are decadent in every sense of the word. He interweaves death, sex and religion - Bradomin seducing the pious, protesting Concha even as she is dying and, later, casually making an innocent convent pupil fall in love with him, a young girl who might well be his own daughter - but this Bradomin is now white-haired and fearful that his sexual powers may be waning. The world he inhabits and the beliefs he claims to embrace are also falling away.

COLECCION AUSTRAL presenta en este volumen LUCES DE BOHEMIA, esperpento tragico de la vida literaria de la epoca. Al degradarse la realidad aparece la farsa y, en un segundo nivel, el esperpento. Los heroes clasicos reflejados en los espejos concavos dan el Esperpento, aclara Valle-Inclan. Aqui el espejo concavo es una conciencia dolorida, una conciencia moral que escandaliza o aterra. Resulta patetico que quien vea la verdad sea un ciego, Max Estrella, sonador perdido en un Madrid absurdo y hambriento. La magnifica Introduccion de Alonso Zamora Vicente, de la Real Academia Espanola, y la ilustrativa Guia de lectura y Glosario preparados por Joaquin del Valle-Inclan nos descubren el universo magico del genial escritor, el entramado de relaciones entre la realidad y el texto y la vision voluntariamente deformadora y critica que se oculta bajo la caricatura; un completo y sugerente analisis de las claves de la creacion valleinclaniana.
