«Cuatro corazones con freno y marcha atrás / Los ladrones somos gente honrada» is the theatre volume by Enrique Jardiel Poncela published by Austral in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together two works by Enrique Jardiel Poncela, one of the renovators of the Spanish stage in the 20th century. «Cuatro corazones con freno y marcha atrás» presents characters who manage not to die and, dissatisfied with immortality, begin to grow younger. «Los ladrones somos gente honrada» is a comedy designed to entertain, without psychological or philosophical ambitions, with the verbal humour and implausible situations that characterise the author.
The collection it belongs to is Contemporánea, in its Teatro series. The original works premiered in 1936 and 1941, respectively.
Recommended for readers interested in avant-garde Spanish theatre and the absurd humour of the first half of the 20th century.
Enrique Jardiel Poncela was a Spanish playwright and novelist who wrote mostly humorous works.
