«Luces de Bohemia» is the theatrical esperpento by Ramón del Valle-Inclán, published by Austral in paperback (304 pages, in Spanish).
The work follows Max Estrella, a blind and bohemian poet, on a night-time journey through early 20th-century Madrid. Through dialogues and encounters, Valle-Inclán offers social criticism: the city is a miserable and unjust space, and reality becomes distorted until it turns into an esperpento, a grotesque caricature of the Spain of that era.
This edition, published in 2010, includes the introduction by Alonso Zamora Vicente and a reading guide and glossary by Joaquín del Valle-Inclán. The work was originally published in 1920.
For literature students and readers interested in 20th-century Spanish theatre.
Spanish playwright, novelist and poet, creator of the 'esperpento' style and author of Bohemian Lights and Tirano Banderas.
