«Los intereses creados» is a puppet comedy by Jacinto Benavente, published by Espasa-Calpe SA in paperback (136 pages, in Spanish).
Deception drives the plot: Crispín, a cunning rogue with no resources, schemes to get ahead, while Leandro and Silvia fall in love through a farce. Between the critique of bourgeois values and the verbal play full of irony, the piece anticipates the grotesque and esperpento style of later decades.
The work dates from 1907; this edition from the Austral Collection includes an introduction by Francisco José Díaz de Castro.
For those who enjoy classic Spanish theatre and twentieth-century literature.
Jacinto Benavente y Martínez was one of the foremost Spanish dramatists of the 20th century. He was awarded the 1922 Nobel Prize in Literature "for the happy manner in which he has continued the illustrious traditions of the Spanish drama".
