AB The “esperpentic world”, relating it to Valle-Inclán, has been a critical study for many years. An important example is his play Bohemian Lights which, together with other works he wrote, makes up and exemplifies an important part of the genre we now call esperpento. Irony is one of the main literary figures represented by this term and, at the same time, its translation would be a great challenge for the field of translatological studies. The aim of this project is to search for the relationship between some of the ironic elements extracted from the play Bohemian Lights and to see if this irony is maintained through certain strategies used by John Lyon in his translation into English. As a result of this research, it will be concluded that the strategy of adaptation is the one that preserves the irony the most, although no specific pattern of the strategies used in the translation is completely clear.
