En La Ardiente Oscuridad
Por Antonio Buero Vallejo, Carlos Gorostiza
Paginas: 112
Editorial: Stockcero
In the author’s own words his play "aims to set down within a realistic framework, so necessary to the theatre, a nucleus of problems and passions involving man in general, and not blind people in particular…" The physical blindness of the depicted characters is only a motive or pretext for presenting the limitations we all share as human beings. Accordingly, the play must be understood as a sketch of the tragedy of man and his destiny, a problem which again is acquiring legitimacy and urgency, outstepping from the serious Spanish theatre studies into the surrounding reality. Two aspects are set down as intentionally dominant within the plan of Buero Vallejo’s work. One is the social relationship, a mixture of free and forced situations, which arestablished between a strong individuality whose reasoning and frustration conflict with the reasoning and passion of the community. The other involves the tension of the visionary, the yearning for "light" and the belief in it which occasionally distinguishes the people of genuine religious feelings facing the material interests of the majority.

El Matadero Y Apologia Del Matambre
Por Esteban Echeverria
Paginas: 56
Editorial: Stockcero
Echeverria’s classic story El matadero in a new, annotated edition El Matadero, considered a cornerstone of the Latin American prose, depicts a characteristic scene of the terrible times in Argentina before its institutionalization as a democratic republic. Echeverría in this short story according to his friend Juan María Gutiérrez "performs as a painter that opens his sketchbook to quickly depict in general strokes the scenes of a public street, saving them to compose a customs picture, later and in the quietness of his shop". This deceivingly straightforward plot and elegant prose is based on an almost criptic lexicon. In these mere 27 pages there are no less than 87 notes needed to convey the exact meaning intended by the author! This edition includes the elegant and witty "Apology of the thin flank" (apología del matambre). If pictorial sketches are valuable as clues to the painter’s genius, the Apología… depicts the Echeverría, author of "Dogma Socialista" and simultaneously friend of Juan Bautista Alberdi, author of the basis of the Argentine Constitution, written following the same guidelines as the Constitution of the United States of America.
