«Pequeño teatro» is the novel by Ana María Matute, published by Planeta in paperback (264 pages, in Spanish).
The story revolves around a helpless adolescent and the passions that drive those around him: hypocrisy, ambition, cruelty, and deceptive dreams come to light in a city seen as a puppet theatre. With a poetic tone, the characters take on symbolic traits without ceasing to be human.
Premio Planeta 1954; the work was originally published that same year.
