«El amigo Melquiades / La señorita de Trevélez» is a theatre volume by Carlos Arniches, published by Austral in paperback (256 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together two key plays by Carlos Arniches: «El amigo Melquiades», an example of his popular and sainete vein, and «La señorita de Trevélez», one of the first examples of Spanish grotesque comedy. The latter presents a more complex action and a literary density in which the comic coexists with the dramatic.
Edition by Manuel Seco, of the Royal Spanish Academy, with a reading guide by Mariano de Paco. It belongs to the Austral Clásica collection.
For students and enthusiasts of Spanish playwriting from the first half of the 20th century.
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.
