Saturday Night : Translated From the Spanish With a Preface by John Garrett Underhill

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Saturday Night' is a sophisticated and symbolic drama by the Nobel Prize-winning Spanish playwright Jacinto Benavente. Presented as a series of five tableaux, the play is set against the opulent yet decadent backdrop of the French Riviera, where high society and personal ambition collide. The story centers on Imperia, a woman whose journey from poverty to influence serves as a vehicle for exploring the complexities of power, art, and human desire.Translated by John Garrett Underhill, this work showcases Benavente's mastery of dialogue and his ability to weave psychological realism with allegorical elements. The narrative delves into the masks people wear in public and the hidden truths of their private lives, offering a profound critique of social artifice. As one of Benavente's most acclaimed works, 'Saturday Night' stands as a testament to the innovation of early 20th-century European theater. It remains a vital piece of literature for those interested in the evolution of modern drama and the rich cultural heritage of Spain.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
