"La Doa, One Person as Three" describes a wealthy woman who creates two other personalities to find a non-violent way to destroy a drug operation in a remote Guatemalan town: a sister in plain dress and her angry mental creature full of power. She inspires the people of the town to pull together to love and trust each other. At the same time her son, who is on drugs, finds a cure from a Mayan Curandero and becomes a new man. The ancient town moves into the modern age, keeping old traditions that matter, but dropping bad habits and taboos gathered over centuries. Once a human catalyst is active, many events can unfold. This story is based on real people, too moving to forget, who created co-operatives teaching new skills to women who had lost their husbands or had been abandoned. They learned that every individual has power to be used thoughtfully.

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. José Echegaray, a Spanish playwright and Nobel laureate in Literature, was known for his dramatic works that often grappled with philosophical and ethical dilemmas. His background in mathematics and science influenced his writing, leading to intricate plots and thought-provoking themes. Echegaray's exploration of morality and human nature in 'The Great Galeoto' showcases his profound understanding of the human condition. I highly recommend 'The Great Galeoto; Folly or Saintliness' to readers interested in classic Spanish drama and psychological introspection. Echegaray's poignant portrayal of jealousy and virtue makes this work a timeless and captivating read that continues to resonate with audiences today.
