Luces de Bohemia: Esperpento by Ramón del Valle-Inclán
"Luces de Bohemia: Esperpento" by Ramón del Valle-Inclán is a play published in 1920. It follows the final hours of Max Estrella, a blind, impoverished poet who wanders through the dark, sordid streets of Madrid accompanied by his companion Don Latino. Through their encounters with society's margins, the work delivers biting criticism of Spain's political corruption and cultural hypocrisy. Valle-Inclán pioneered a new theatrical genre called "esperpento"—a distorted, grotesque lens for viewing
reality—transforming one man's tragic demise into a brutal portrait of an unjust nation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
