Una obra que merece ser colocada en un segundo lugar de excelencia después de El Quijote, ahora en una nueva edición accesible avalada por la Real Academia Española.Escritos con un lenguaje popular y agudo, los Entremeses retratan escenas de la vida cotidiana llenas de humor, satira y critica social. Cervantes se burla de los vicios y defectos humanos como la avaricia, la hipocresia, el engaño y la falsa honra. Los protagonistas son personajes del pueblo llano, picaros, engañadores, mujeres astutas y maridos celosos, que reflejan con ironia los problemas sociales y morales de la epoca.A traves de situaciones absurdas y dialogos ingeniosos, Cervantes demuestra su maestria en el teatro breve y su vision critica del mundo. Aunque no tuvieron tanto exito en su tiempo como sus novelas, hoy se valoran por su riqueza literaria y su frescura escenica.

Marcos se indigna, Ivan intenta mediar, y lo que parece una simple discusion sobre arte contemporaneo se transforma en una explosiva confrontacion sobre el gusto, los valores, el ego y la lealtad entre amigos.
