1976. First edition thus. xii, 266pp. Ramón María del Valle-Inclán (1866-1936) was a Spanish dramatist, and novelist. His work has been described by literary critics as radical in its subversion of traditional Spanish theatre in the early 20th century. He influenced later generations of Spanish dramatists and is honored on National Theatre Day with a statue in Madrid. Bohemian Lights, or Luces de Bohemia in the original Spanish, was first published in 1924. The central character is Max Estrella, a struggling poet afflicted by blindness due to developing syphilis. The play is a degenerated tragedy (esperpento) focusing on the troubles of the literary and artistic world in Spain under the Restoration. Through Max's poverty, ill fortune and eventual death, Valle-Inclán portrays how society neglects the creative. The text of the present edition is given in both Spanish and English, and there is a substantial introduction (in English) by Anthony N. Zahareas. The book is the 10th volume in the Edinburgh Bilingual Library of European Literature series. The book is bound in the original brown cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The book is in excellent condition and the contents are tight and clean with no inscription. The unclipped dustwrapper has some shelf wear with light soiling and light rubbing along the top edge.
