Synopsis

A number of the great classics of Spanish-language literature are brought together in this series of specially adapted titles for young adults. Each title contains text written in a literary but accessible style and a full-color documentary that provides information about the author, the work, and the time period. Much like modern sketch comedy and stand-up routines, the entremeses of 16th- and 17th-century Spanish theater—short farces performed between acts of longer dramatic works—poked fun at contemporary culture even as they made serious critiques of it. This collection gathers several pieces by Miguel de Cervantes, one of the primary proponents of the form, and includes a number of lexical and interpretive notes directed at nonexpert readers that help contribute to their enjoyment of the material.

 Un número de los grandes clásicos de la literatura en castellano están reunidos en esta serie de títulos especialmente adaptados para los adolescentes. Cada título contiene un texto literario pero accesible y un documental a todo color con información sobre el autor, la obra y la época. Tal como el humor sketch o los monólogos modernos, los entremeses del teatro español de los siglos XVI y XVII—cortas farsas que se presentaban entre los actos de obras dramáticas más largas—se burlaban de la cultura contemporánea a la misma vez que hacían críticas serias y válidas contra ella. Esta colección reúne algunas de las obras de Miguel de Cervantes—uno de los principales exponentes del estilo—e incluye notas de léxico e interpretación dirigidas a lectores no expertos que ayudan a contribuir a su placer del material.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Cervantes showed us in Entremeses his finite genius for the social satire and for showing us that the most dangerous vice of any period is the lack or culture, the corruption, the power of money and the social hipocrisy of a people.

Emilia Navarro Ramírez is an author of educational books and a translator who holds a degree in Spanish linguistics and literature from the Autonomous University of Madrid.
