And now the stars can shine in all their glory and splendor, and the observers are enjoying their magical presence. These distant worlds exist there, behind the glass... within the reach of our gaze!


Oh, if only we had the vision!


The stars have always fascinated humanity. Their beauty and mystery have inspired countless works of art, literature, and science. We look up at the night sky and wonder what lies beyond our planet.


Thanks to modern technology, we can now see further and more clearly than ever before. Telescopes and satellites have allowed us to explore the universe and discover new planets, stars, and galaxies.


But there is still so much we don't know. The universe is vast and complex, and there are many mysteries waiting to be解开. Maybe one day, we will have the knowledge and technology to travel to other worlds and explore them for ourselves.


Until then, we can continue to look up at the stars and dream of what lies beyond.

The ending was truly beautiful. I absolutely loved it. It was written like a true tragedy, which really tugged at my heartstrings. However, I felt that there were certain parts of the play that seemed a bit more confusing or perhaps even unnecessary. But then again, I guess that's the difference between a book and a play.

In a book, you have the luxury of more detailed explanations and descriptions, while in a play, everything has to be conveyed through dialogue and action. And of course, when you're reading it in your second language, it can add an extra layer of complexity.

Overall, though, I still enjoyed the play and was able to appreciate the beauty and artistry in its writing. It made me think and feel, which is what good literature is supposed to do.

I really liked especially the first act and the final. It had its moments of literary brilliance.

The first act was truly captivating. It set the stage in a way that immediately drew me in. The characters were introduced in an interesting and engaging manner, and the plot seemed to unfold with a natural flow.

The final, on the other hand, was equally impressive. It brought together all the threads of the story in a satisfying conclusion. The literary devices used, such as metaphors and similes, added depth and richness to the narrative.

Overall, I found the play to be a great example of literary excellence. It had its share of flaws, but the moments of brilliance more than made up for them. I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys good literature.

4'5 ☆ Me ha gustado bastante más que Historia de una escalera.

This statement indicates a clear preference. It seems that whatever "4'5 ☆" refers to has made a stronger impression than "Historia de una escalera".

Perhaps "4'5 ☆" offers more engaging content, a more unique perspective, or a greater emotional impact.

It could be a book, a movie, a song, or any other form of media or experience.

Without further context, it's difficult to determine exactly why "4'5 ☆" is preferred.

However, it's clear that the person making the statement has found something in it that they value more highly than "Historia de una escalera".

Maybe they will recommend "4'5 ☆" to others or continue to explore similar works that offer a similar level of enjoyment.

In any case, this simple statement provides a glimpse into the individual's tastes and preferences.

The great Spanish playwright Antonio Buero Vallejo's play tells about a house for the insane where a new inmate comes. He tries to correct the ideas of the insane and admits to ignorance. An attempt is made to let him leave through those who believe in traditional ideas. But when his request for leave is not answered, he is killed to let the culture of ignorance prevail. The play is full of political downfalls as it was written after the Spanish Civil War and its author opposed the military dictator Franco. Vallejo believed in the republican system. Here, the downfall is that anyone who seeks light, freedom, and different thinking will be welcomed, killed, and trampled upon. Behind every dead emperor, a new emperor will come.



Best regards and wishes for a pleasant reading.

I have decided that I will have to read more works of Buero Vallejo because I have really fallen in love with his writing. His stories seem to have a unique charm that draws me in and keeps me engaged from beginning to end. The way he crafts his characters and weaves together the plot is truly remarkable. It's as if he has the ability to bring the story to life right before my eyes.


Every time I pick up one of his books, I am transported to a different world, filled with interesting characters and complex emotions. I find myself completely immersed in the story, forgetting about everything else around me. It's a wonderful escape from reality.


I am excited to explore more of his works and see what other treasures he has in store for me. I have a feeling that each new book will be a new adventure, and I can't wait to embark on it.

No estuvo mal.

It was not bad at all. In fact, it had its own charm and appeal.

Maybe it wasn't perfect, but it had certain aspects that made it quite enjoyable.

The experience had its ups and downs, but overall, it left a positive impression.

There were moments that made me smile and others that made me think.

It was a unique adventure that I wouldn't mind having again.

Although it might not have met all of my expectations, it still managed to surprise me in some ways.

I guess you could say that it was a pleasant surprise.

All in all, it was an experience that I will remember for a long time.

“—¿Acaso no ves?
—¿Cómo?”

This short exchange seems to carry a certain mystery and perhaps a hint of frustration. It makes one wonder what exactly the person is not seeing and why the other is responding with such a simple “Cómo?”.

The statement “Odio a Juana y a Ignacio, just that” further adds to the complexity of the situation. It shows that there is a strong feeling of hatred towards Juana and Ignacio, but without any further explanation as to why. Maybe there are past events or actions that have led to this intense emotion.

It could be that the person is trying to express their feelings in a concise and direct way, but at the same time, leaving room for the listener to ask questions and seek more understanding. Overall, this short piece of text leaves us with many unanswered questions and a sense of curiosity about the relationships and emotions involved.

Fascism is a political ideology and movement that has been the subject of intense criticism throughout history.

Fascist regimes are characterized by extreme nationalism, totalitarianism, and the suppression of individual freedoms. They often promote a cult of personality around a leader and use violence and intimidation to maintain power.

The rise of fascism in the 20th century led to some of the most devastating wars and atrocities in human history. The Nazi regime in Germany, for example, was responsible for the Holocaust, in which millions of Jews and other minorities were systematically murdered.

Critics of fascism argue that it is a dangerous and immoral ideology that has no place in a democratic society. They point out that fascism undermines the rule of law, suppresses free speech and the media, and promotes hatred and division.

In conclusion, fascism is a dark chapter in human history that should never be forgotten. We must continue to be vigilant against the rise of fascism and work to promote democracy, equality, and freedom for all.

I had to read it for the university, but I really liked it. It is not only entertaining but also has some unexpected plot twists that keep you on the edge of your seat.


The story unfolds in a way that makes you constantly curious about what will happen next. The characters are well-developed and their actions and decisions add to the complexity of the plot.


Even though it was assigned reading for my university course, I found myself completely engaged in the story. It was a pleasant surprise to discover that a book assigned for academic purposes could be so enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it to others who are looking for an interesting and engaging read.

Antonio Buero Vallejo's "Historia de una escalera" made me fall in love with his works. Since then, I have been determined to read most of his creations, and "En la ardiente oscuridad" has been the next one on my list.


This play is set in a specialized school for the blind. Here, we meet a group of blind friends who have known each other for a long time. They have all accepted their blindness and live with it naturally. However, soon a new boy, Ignacio, appears in the center. He is completely different from them. Ignacio has a very gloomy attitude, and he doesn't give up his desire to see. With his sweet talk, he quickly charms the other boys in the center. Everything is about to change, but Carlos, the only one who seems to notice, will do his best to make his friends realize what Ignacio is exactly doing.


In this work, we encounter two completely opposite characters. On the one hand, we have what we could consider the "villain," with that gloomy, dark, and demotivating attitude and thought; on the other hand, we have the "hero," the one who tries to maintain the initial positivity and joy despite everything. The contrast between the two characters is brutal, and I love that Buero Vallejo has kept that ace up his sleeve to show us that, in reality, even the "best" can be infected by these negative thoughts.


One thing I really enjoyed was seeing how the atmosphere of the play changes radically as the reading progresses. We start with a happy school, full of good vibes, where the classmates are constantly laughing and joking, and little by little, all of this is left behind. This change also occurs in the attitude of the protagonists, and the contrast on the stage is brutal from beginning to end. I love how the author shows the influence of Ignacio as the play progresses and how he evidences all the changes that occur with his arrival.


Buero Vallejo already develops different debates around being blind and normality, but he also takes advantage of this theme to generate more reflections and more criticisms of different topics. Among them, we can find discourses that also have their existentialist point or we can read others that talk, for example, about true love. I think very interesting ideas are raised, and, I'm not going to lie to you, at the end, I ended up putting some post-its on the pages of the book, something that I sincerely didn't think was going to happen.


Besides, the ending... Ugh.


"En la ardiente oscuridad" has strengthened my idea that I have to keep reading the works of this gentleman. The two books I have read have ended up surprising me in some way (always for the better, in different aspects) and have left me wanting more. We will continue reading, and we will continue informing!
