Antonio Buero Vallejo was a Spanish playwright considered the most important Spanish dramatist of the Spanish Civil War. During his career he won three National Theatre Prizes (in 1957, 1958 & 1959), a National Theatre Prize for all his career in 1980, the National Literature Prize in 1996, and the Miguel de Cervantes Prize, Spain's highest literary honour, in 1986. From 1971 until his death he was a member of the Real Academia Española.

From 1934 to 1936 Vallejo studied art and painting at San Fernando Escuela de Arte, in Madrid. During the civil war, he served as a medical aid in the Republican army. After the war he was imprisoned for six years. After being released he wrote Story of a Stairway in 1949. This work presented a graphic picture of Spain after the Civil War and won the Lope de Vega Prize, establishing Vallejo as one of the foremost authors in Spain. While other authors left Spain to escape Franco's censorship, Vallejo stayed in Spain and used symbolism to criticize the government. In 1971, he was elected to the Royal Spanish Academy. In 1994 he was awarded the Gold Medal of Merit in Fine Arts and the Gold Medal of the Society of Authors of Spain.

A common theme in his work is Spain's problems during and after Franco. In the tragedies there is always a sense of hope for the future. His works make frequent use of the symbolism of the senses—for example, using the "fiery darkness," in which the protagonist cannot see, as a symbol of Spain's dark situation.

The first work didn't leave a good taste in my mouth. It has a very bitter criticism.

However, the second one I really loved. It is fantastic to learn history.

The first work seemed to be filled with harsh remarks and negative perspectives, which made it a bit unappealing to me.

On the other hand, the second work was a completely different story. It had a charm that made learning history an exciting and enjoyable experience.

The way it presented historical events and facts was engaging and captivating, making me eager to explore more.

I found myself immersed in the world of history, learning valuable lessons and gaining a deeper understanding of the past.

Overall, while the first work was a disappointment, the second one more than made up for it and left a lasting impression on me.

I was on a mission to find a contemporary book in Spanish. However, I couldn't seem to locate one. In my rather haughty state, I convinced myself that I could just as easily enjoy a play instead.

Looking back, it was completely crazy of me. I naively thought that a play would be a suitable substitute, but I quickly realized my mistake. I didn't even manage to get past page 5 of the play.

The language and the format were so different from what I was used to in a book. I found myself struggling to follow the dialogue and understand the story. It was a humbling experience that taught me not to be so quick to assume that I could easily adapt to a different medium.

From now on, I'll be more open-minded and willing to put in the effort to truly appreciate different forms of literature.

It makes me think deeply about the subject matter. The author's writing style is engaging and easy to follow, which makes the reading experience enjoyable. I have learned a lot from this book and it has broadened my knowledge. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the topic. It is a great resource for both students and enthusiasts. I am looking forward to reading more books like this in the future.
