Alejandro Casona is one of the masters of the contemporary theater, and one of that distinguished group of Spanish intellectuals whose enforced exile had enriched us all with a new demonstration of the great human and aesthetic values of the ancient but ever vital culture of Spain. One of his most attractive works is La Barca Sin Pescador, which was performed in Buenos Aires on 24 July 1945. The play has an interesting plot, well motivated and full of action.
This book provides an intriguing narrative embedded with statements about morality, sin, and the redemtiveness of love and guilt. In this book we track the life of a man who wills a murder to save his dying company, and then travells afar to repay the murdered man's family, learning lessions about life as he is transformed into a new man. A perfect novel!

The spanish Drama in the Golden Years of Spanish literature
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
"La barca sin pescador" is a poetic drama (Not in verse) of a modern cut. It's about the man and the devil, and all the lies that only one thrue can lift up. "Your eyes are that green because you watched so many time the sea?" says Ricardo, while in his mind still that murder he believe did a couple of monts before he met that old grandma... It's a drama that can be recommended even for highschool plays, but it requires a good knowledge of the spanish languaje.
