«Las Nubes. Las Ranas. Pluto» brings together three comedies by Aristophanes, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (264 pages, in Spanish).
The three works collected close the stage of Aristophanes' ancient comedy. In «Las Nubes» and «Las Ranas», the common thread is education and its link to the intellectual life of Athens, a world that satire portrays with irony. «Pluto», by contrast, starts from the same subject but focuses on the unjust distribution of wealth and avoids personal attack.
Fifth edition, prepared by Francisco Rodríguez Adrados and Juan Rodríguez Somolinos, published in 2006 in the Letras Universales collection.
For general readers interested in classical theater and ancient Greek comedy.
Aristophanes was an Ancient Greek comic playwright from Athens. He wrote forty plays, of which eleven survive virtually complete. The majority of his surviving plays belong to the genre of comic drama known as Old Comedy and are considered its most valuable examples. Aristophanes's plays were performed at the religious festivals of Athens, mostly the City Dionysia and the Lenaia, and several of them won the first prize in their respective competitions.
