«Anfitrión / La comedia de los asnos / La comedia de la olla» is a volume of classical theatre by Plautus, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback, in Spanish.
Three comedies by Plautus based on the models of Greek New Comedy; their plots focus on everyday and family life, take place in Hellenistic settings, and are full of the humour that has shaped Western comedy.
This is the second edition, number 346 in the Nuevo Austral collection, with a translation by José Mª Guinot Galán and edited by Gregorio Hinojo.
For those interested in classical Roman theatre and Plautus's influence on Western comedy.
Titus Maccius Plautus was a Roman playwright of the Old Latin period. His comedies are the earliest Latin literary works to have survived in their entirety. He wrote Palliata comoedia, the genre devised by Livius Andronicus, the innovator of Latin literature. The word Plautine refers to both Plautus's own works and works similar to or influenced by his. He influenced some of the greatest figures in literature, including Shakespeare and Molière.
