«Angelina o el honor de un brigadier / Un marido de ida y vuelta» is the theatre volume by Enrique Jardiel Poncela, published by Austral in paperback (368 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together two works by Enrique Jardiel Poncela. «Angelina o el honor de un brigadier», his first genuinely humorous comedy, parodies nineteenth-century realist drama, while «Un marido de ida y vuelta» is a farce of the so-called theatre of the improbable, full of humour and poetry, with memorable scenes. The author renewed Spanish comedy with an intellectual humour that broke with the naturalist conventions of his time.
Both works belong to the Contemporánea collection from Austral, number 478. The edition is edited by Francisco Díaz de Castro and Almudena del Olmo Iturriarte.
Recommended for readers interested in twentieth-century Spanish theatre and the evolution of humorous comedy.
Enrique Jardiel Poncela was a Spanish playwright and novelist who wrote mostly humorous works.
