About this book

In the early 20th century, Spain was a crucible of artistic innovation and social upheaval. "Luces de Bohemia: Esperpento" by Ramón del Valle-Inclán captures this tumultuous spirit through the poignant journey of Max Estrella, a blind poet confronting the absurdities of life in Madrid. This dramatic work employs the unique style of esperpento, a form that distorts reality to reveal deeper truths, while exploring themes of poverty and existential despair. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians alike, this play challenges readers to reflect on the societal contradictions of the time. Delve into Valle-Inclán's masterful critique of a fractured society and discover the power of art in illuminating the human condition.
