Inspired by the similarities between human existence and the seasons, Ramón del Valle-Inclán created 4 modernist stories known as the Sonatas tetralogy. From that highly regarded series comes this 1904 masterpiece. It chronicles a Don Juan's passion for a beguiling young aristocratic woman who intends to take the veil. The only available dual-language edition.
"This book is a collection of eleven essays devoted to the work of Ramon del Valle-Inclan (1866-1936). Long the recipient of critical analyses from various perspectives, Valle-Inclan's writing has nevertheless been virtually neglected in the gender-based criticism that has given rise to important studies of his contemporaries in other European literatures. This means that his diverse female characters have not been fully examined, that many scholars continue to consider him an unqualified misogynist, and that a marked effort to surmount gender constraints, present throughout his work, has not been acknowledged, much less explicated. This lack of study is intimately related to a much broader ...
Written in the early 1920s, Lights of Bohemia is set in the twilight phase of Madrid's bohemian artistic life against the turbulent social and political background of events between 1900 and 1920.
The Sonatas are the Memoirs of the Marquis of Bradomin, a Galician Don Juan. In the Spring Sonata he is a young man in love, full of determination and passion. The object of his affections is a young aristocrat, beautiful and beguiling but destined by her family and her own inclinations to be a bride of Christ. The Marquis's ardour is almost irresistible and the consequences tragic. In the Summer Sonata the Marquis goes to Mexico to forget another unhappy love affair but gets embroiled with a Yucatan princess married to a bandit-king. While the tone of the Spring Sonata is one of virginal innocence, an innocence ultimately betrayed, the Summer Sonata is by contrast one of exotic lushness, redolent of hot days becalmed on silver seas and hot perfumed nights.
Ramón del Valle-Inclán (1866-1936) was undoubtedly the most controversial literary figure of his generation. Whilst his genius was recognised by fellow writers, the reading public was slow to accept his work, and his theatre taxed directors and audiences alike. One of the harshest criticisms levelled against him concerned his use of repetition. This study shows how the reuse, recycling and development of material becomes one of the hallmarks of Valle-Inclán's writing during the first three decades of his literary career, linking one genre with another and blurring the borders between different aesthetics. The repetition of themes and motifs, characters and stylistic devices reveals an und...
Ahogada su personalidad en un anecdotario, tan falso como absurdo, que desfiguró desde su nombre y apellidos hasta los últimos momentos de su agonía. Fantasías que se tomaron por verdades y certezas despreciadas por contradecir la imagen creada a base de cuentos y chascarrillos. Sin duda, esa mixtificación fue, en parte, fomentada y propalada por él mismo. Fantasioso, decidor, conferenciante admirado, amante y preocupado padre de su prole, generalmente editor de sus obras buscando nuevos diseños del libro. Muy reservado y celoso guardián de su intimidad que en entrevistas miente sin recato sobre su vida y afanes personales. Católico aunque escasamente ortodoxo por su admiración al herético Miguel de Molinos. Carlista y místico, consumidor de hachís, altamente sociable, buena parte de su vida transcurrió en tertulias; prolífico autor empecinado en innovar lenguaje y modos teatrales al margen de los gustos del público. «¿Cómo será la literatura del año 2000?» —le preguntó un periodista en 1932—. «No lo sé —respondió—, si no ya la estaría haciendo». Permítanme presentarles a don Ramón del Valle-Inclán.
