«Del Madrid castizo» is a collection of sainetes by Carlos Arniches, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (168 pages, in Spanish).
It compiles sainetes from Spanish costumbrismo theatre: short pieces set in popular Madrid, full of humour and colloquial dialogue, portraying the customs of the era with a moralising and socially critical intent. This edition brings together the sainetes from 1917 and includes «Los tiros».
Volume 80 of the Letras Hispánicas collection, edited by José Montero Padilla. It corresponds to the 13th edition of the work.
A work of interest for readers of classical Spanish theatre and for those who enjoy costumbrista literature set in Madrid.
Carlos Arniches Barreda was a Spanish playwright, born in Alicante. His prolific work, drawing on the traditions of the género chico, the zarzuela and the grotesque, came to dominate the Spanish comic theatre in the early twentieth century.
