In 'The Great Galeoto; Folly or Saintliness', José Echegaray explores themes of jealousy and obsession through the interplay of two intertwining plots. Echegaray's literary style is characterized by its emotional intensity and moral complexity, drawing inspiration from both classical tragedy and Spanish romanticism. The juxtaposition of folly and saintliness serves as a reflection on the duality of human nature, ultimately questioning the thin line between good and evil. Written in the late 19th century, these plays showcase Echegaray's mastery in delving into the depths of the human psyche.

Excerpt from The Great Galeoto Folly, or Saintliness: Two Plays Done From the Verse of Jose Echegaray Into English Prose by Hannah Lynch Jose Echegaray was born at Madrid in 1832. The years of childhood were passed in Murcia, where at the university he studied and took out his degrees. His tendency in youth was towards the exact sciences, with which he still coquets in the same spirit of pride that pushed Goethe to glory in his devotion to painting. He more readily Offers to his friends a volume of his Modem Theories of Physics or the Union of Material Force: by which he is known to a select few, than one Of his popular dramas. Of the scientific value of these works I am not in a position to Offer any Opinion. For career, he chose that of engineer, and, we are told, gave evidence in this line Of quite exceptional diligence and quickness. Certain it is that in this department as well as in others that followed, he has amply proved that in individual circumstances the Don may be carried into a permanent frenzy of industry. In 1853 his studies in engineering terminated. Echegaray was appointed successively to posts in various provinces, until he returned to Madrid as professor Of the School of Engineers. Here he taught theoretical and applied. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
