«Pequeño teatro» is the novel by Ana María Matute published by Planeta in hardback (261 pages, in Spanish).
Around a small puppet theatre that a kind old man moves with skill, the narrative portrays the human beings who live in the city. The lives that stir around a helpless adolescent reveal hypocrisies, cruelties, ambitions and deceptive dreams; the characters, drawn with almost symbolic strokes, never lose their human condition.
The novel won the Premio Planeta in 1954; this edition, published in 1998, is part of the Colección Premio Planeta.
