«Los intereses creados» is the comedy by Jacinto Benavente, published by SAPE-Club Internacional del Libro in paperback (125 pages, in Spanish).
The plot follows Crispín, a rogue short on money but full of tricks, and Leandro, whom he tries to elevate through deceit; in parallel, the love between Leandro and Silvia is born from that lie. With archetypal characters, irony, and criticism of ambition and appearances, Benavente anticipates grotesque and esperpento theatre.
The work was originally published in 1907; this Spanish edition is from 1986 and includes a bibliography on pages 33-34.
Recommended for those who enjoy classic Spanish theatre, comedies of intrigue, and social criticism with irony.
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".
