«Historia de una escalera» is the play by Antonio Buero Vallejo, published by Austral in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
A neighbour's staircase is the setting where the lives of several families cross over three generations. Their hopes, loves and failures repeat over time, while post-war Spain barely offers them a way out. Buero Vallejo turns that everyday space into a symbol of a social condition that seems impossible to change.
The play premiered in 1949 and won the Lope de Vega Prize. This edition, published in 2006, belongs to the Austral 70 años collection.
Frequent reading in schools, useful for approaching post-war Spanish social theatre.
Antonio Buero Vallejo was a Spanish playwright associated with the Generation of '36 movement and considered the most important Spanish dramatist of the Spanish Civil War.
