«El gran galeoto / En el puño de la espada» is a theatre volume by playwright José Echegaray, published by Orbis in hardback (288 pages, in Spanish).
The two plays together present conflicts of honour, love and society, a central feature of Echegaray's theatre. In 'El gran galeoto' gossip and public opinion test the protagonists' reputation; in 'En el puño de la espada' the dilemma between loyalty and revenge sustains the dramatic tension until the denouement.
Volume 38 of the 'Los Premios Nobel' collection from Ediciones Orbis; José Echegaray won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1904.
For readers of classic Spanish theatre and collectors of the 'Los Premios Nobel' series.
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".
