«Tablado de marionetas» is a collection of three farces by Ramón del Valle-Inclán, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (237 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together three farces preceding the esperpento: «La cabeza del dragón», a satire of power based on a children's tale; «Farsa italiana del enamorado del rey», which delves into demystification; and «Farsa y licencia de la reina castiza», about the Elizabethan court, with loose and expressive language.
The volume belongs to the Austral Collection of Espasa-Calpe; «La cabeza del dragón» dates from 1912 and the other two farces from 1920. Edition prepared by César Oliva.
For those interested in Spanish theatre and in Valle-Inclán's evolution towards the esperpento.
Spanish playwright, novelist and poet, creator of the 'esperpento' style and author of Bohemian Lights and Tirano Banderas.
