Book Description
Leandro and Crispín arrive to a prosperous small city seeking a strike of good luck to improve their lives. Given that Leandro is the youngest and more handsome of them, they decide that he will play the role of a young and attractive lord travelling with his assistant, played by Crispín. With this fake identity, Leandro wants to seduce the daughter of the richest and most powerful man in town, Polichinela. Thus, the difficult path of making their way into a closed society begins so he can gain the recognition someone of his prestige should have. To do so, they establish relations with people who put them in position. As they do not have a single cent, not even to dress, they create a string of debts after asking for loans from the local shops. The debts grow but no one suspects. After some time and having consolidated Leandro's social image, he starts to attend the parties organized by the jet set. In one of the parties, at Polichinela's house, he presents his daughter Silvia to Leandro, as he considers the young man as a good catch. Even though the relationship between Leandro and Silvia began for economical reason, their love begins to turn real right before the truth is about to come to light to complicate their romance and the lives of several characters.

Book Description
This book offers a comprehensive account of modern Spanish culture, tracing its dramatic and often unexpected development from its beginnings after the Revolution of 1868 to the present day. Specially-commissioned essays by leading experts provide analyses of the historical and political background of modern Spain, the culture of the major autonomous regions (notably Castile, Catalonia, and the Basque Country), and the country's literature: narrative, poetry, theatre and the essay. Spain's recent development is divided into three main phases: from 1868 to the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War; the period of the dictatorship of Francisco Franco; and the post-Franco arrival of democracy. The concept of 'Spanish culture' is investigated, and there are studies of Spanish painting and sculpture, architecture, cinema, dance, music, and the modern media. A chronology and guides to further reading are provided, making the volume an invaluable introduction to the politics, literature and culture of modern Spain.

Book Description
Douglas Clayton examines the tradition of commedia dell'arte as the Russian modernists inherited it, from its origins in Italian street theatre through its various transformations: in Italy (Gozzi and Goldini's plays); in France (the development of Pierrot and the restructuring of the plot); and in Germany (Tieck's and Hoffmann's metatheatre). He also analyses crucial texts by Gozzi, Lothar, Benavente, and Schnitzler that came to play a central role in the Russian theatre. Tracing the history of commedia dell'arte on the Russian stage, he demonstrates that the introduction of the tradition was theory-driven and discusses several milestone productions in the pre- and post-revolutionary period. Clayton examines the impact of commedia dell'arte, russified as the new theatrical genre of balagan, on both popular and lesser-known Russian playwrights, and, in conclusion, explores the significance of the commedia dell'arte as a theoretical underpinning for Sergei Eisenstein's theories of theatre and film.
