About This Book

Se sigue a Máximo Estrella, poeta ciego y decrépito, en un deambular por un Madrid absurdo y hambriento que encadena escenas episódicas. Sus encuentros con editores, colegas, policías y un público indiferente revelan la hipocresía, la corrupción y el oportunismo de la prensa y las élites. La acción alterna lo trágico y lo grotesco mediante una estética de deformación que exagera los rasgos sociales hasta la caricatura. El drama remata con la muerte del poeta y una funeraria farsa que subraya la marginación del creador y la descomposición moral de la sociedad, articulada en cuadros cortos y satíricos.

About the Author

Ramón del Valle-Inclán

Ramón del Valle-Inclán was a prominent Spanish playwright, novelist, and poet, known for his innovative contributions to modernist literature. His works often explore themes of identity, culture, and the human condition, employing a unique blend of realism and symbolism. One of his most celebrated plays, "Luces de Bohemia," exemplifies his esperpento style, which distorts reality to reveal deeper truths about society. Valle-Inclán's literary legacy includes notable titles such as "Divinas palabras" and the "Sonata" series, which reflect his mastery of language and character development. His influence on Spanish literature continues to be felt, making him a key figure in the literary heritage of the early 20th century.
