A number of the great classics of Spanish-language literature are brought together in this series of specially adapted titles for young adults. Each title contains text written in a literary but accessible style and a full-color documentary thatprovides information about the author, the work, and the time period. Much like modern sketch comedy and stand-up routines, the entremeses of 16th- and 17th-century Spanish theater short farces performed between acts of longer dramatic works poked fun at contemporary culture even as they made serious critiques of it. This collection gathers several pieces by Miguel de Cervantes, one of the primary proponents of the form, and includes a number of lexical and interpretive notes directed at nonexpert readers that help contribute to their enjoyment of the material.
