«El gran galeoto» is the play by José Echegaray, published by Altaya in hardback (210 pages, in Spanish).
Drama in three acts about honour, slander and the harm of rumours. The action centres on Ernesto and Teodora: society's gossip ends up ruining their reputation. It is a representative work of nineteenth-century Spanish theatre, with declamatory dialogue.
The Altaya edition belongs to the Biblioteca de Premios Nobel collection; Echegaray was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1904. The work was originally published in 1881.

José Echegaray y Eizaguirre was a Spanish civil engineer, mathematician, statesman, and one of the leading Spanish dramatists of the last quarter of the 19th century. He was awarded the 1904 Nobel Prize in Literature "in recognition of the numerous and brilliant compositions which, in an individual and original manner, have revived the great traditions of the Spanish drama".
