«El santo de la Isidra; El amigo Melquíades; La venganza de la Petra» is the theatre volume by Carlos Arniches published by Aguilar in paperback in 1987.
The volume brings together three pieces of the género chico, the costumbrista and humorous theatre that enjoyed great popularity in Spain between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. The works portray everyday life in Madrid's working-class neighbourhoods, with endearing characters and comic situations.
Written in Spanish, with 240 pages. Belongs to the El Libro Aguilar collection, in its Literature section.
It will appeal to readers of classic Spanish theatre and to those who want to approach the costumbrismo of early 20th-century 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.
