«Divinas palabras» is the village tragicomedy by Ramón del Valle-Inclán, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (137 pages, in Spanish).
The play centers on the sexton Pedro Gailo, his wife Mari-Gaila and the dwarf Laureaniño, exhibited at fairs by his relatives. Marica del Reino and Mari-Gaila fight over him for money; Mari-Gaila's adultery with a fairground worker triggers the tragedy. The harsh, raw tone, between tragic and comic, evokes superstitions and legends.
Written in 1919, this 1979 edition is part of the Austral Collection (no. 1320) by Espasa-Calpe.
Recommended for readers of Spanish theater and Valle-Inclán's literature, with an interest in the esperpento and mythical Galicia.
