This review is from: Los intereses creados (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)

excellent endeavor by one of Spain's top writer's and Pulitzer Prize winners, JACINTO BENEVETA A wonderful farce in the true tradition of the Italian style picaresque. However, one must be quite fluent in the Spanish idiom and have a keen appreciation for this type of literature. Best bet for those who fall short on the idiom aspect is to buy the dual text format, which will enhance your enjoyment of the farce.
