«Divinas palabras» is the village tragicomedy by Ramón del Valle-Inclán, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (174 pages, in Spanish).
Set in rural Galicia, the work presents a succession of vignettes of marginalized characters. Avarice and lust trigger the struggle between Marica del Reino and Mari-Gaila over a crippled dwarf they exploit at fairs and pilgrimages, and Mari-Gaila's adultery with a wandering showman. The tragic and the comic merge in a language of exclamatory tone.
Austral Collection, no. 378, edited by Gonzalo Sobejano. Work originally published in 1919.
For literature students and readers interested in classic Spanish theatre.
Spanish playwright, novelist and poet, creator of the 'esperpento' style and author of Bohemian Lights and Tirano Banderas.
