Description
«Diez años de producción teatral —1932-1942— muestran el desplazamiento del centro de gravedad —desde la narrativa a la dramaturgia— en los últimos años de vida de Roberto Arlt (Buenos Aires, 1900-1942), quien declaró que escribía teatro porque era su “modo de plantearle problemas a la humanidad”. Sus obras recorren un camino que las aleja de la “sainetería epidémica y colorida”, como lo demuestran “Saverio, el cruel”, en donde está presente un tema central de show more su producción: el golpe mágico que cambia la existencia rutinaria en una gran aventura, o los personajes de “La isla desierta”, habitantes de Buenos Aires que viven y padecen un agotamiento cultural cada vez más hueco e intolerable, y en quienes el trabajo rutinario se contrapesa a la fantasía del viaje imaginario, con un interior humillante y un exterior jubiloso.» show lessTags

Roberto Arlt is acknowledged as a seminal figure in the development of the theater and novel in Argentina; in his treatment of madness and the uncertainties of external reality; and in his use of shifting point of view and internal monologue. The seven madmen in the book of that title organize a secret society to be financed by a chain of show more brothels, with the purpose of changing society. At the same time, each of them pursues his own special fixation. Against this background, the protagonist pursues his own existential search for meaning. Arlt's work is a perceptive comment both on the role of the individual in modern society and society's destructive effects on that individual. Arlt is one of Argentina's first major urban writers, with a special focus on the immigrant petite bourgeoisie. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
