«La sirena varada / Los árboles mueren de pie» is a theatre volume by Alejandro Casona, published by Austral in paperback (200 pages, in Spanish).
This volume brings together two key plays by Alejandro Casona. «La sirena varada» presents characters who flee from reality; «Los árboles mueren de pie» shows how a man sustains an illusion to protect a relative from a painful truth. Both explore the tension between the real and the fantastic and the harmony between the two dimensions.
The edition is edited by Carmen Díaz Castañón and the volume belongs to the Austral 70 Años collection.
Aimed at readers interested in Spanish theatre and the work of Alejandro Casona.
Alejandro Rodríguez Álvarez, known as Alejandro Casona was a Spanish poet and playwright born in Besullo, Spain, a member of the Generation of '27. Casona received his bachelor's degree in Gijon and later studied at the University of Murcia. After Franco's rise in 1936, he was forced, like many Spanish intellectuals, to leave Spain. He lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina until April 1962, when he definitively returned to Spain.
