«El Alcalde de Zalamea» is the play by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, published by CreateSpace in paperback (150 pages, in Spanish).
In 17th-century Spain, Captain don Álvaro de Ataide, a passing nobleman, lodges at the home of the farmer Pedro Crespo and commits an abuse against his daughter Isabel. Crespo's attempt to repair the affront clashes with the nobility's contempt for commoners, in a story about honor, justice, and the power of the law.
