«El condenado por desconfiado» is the 17th-century theological drama by Tirso de Molina, published by Orbis in hardcover in 1983 (207 pages, in Spanish).
A Golden Age theological drama that pits predestination against free will. Its protagonist, Paulo, is a hermit tormented by doubt about his fate; tempted by the devil, he abandons the eremitic life and becomes a bandit. The work contrasts distrust in divine grace with the possibility of salvation, in a moral debate that runs through all its acts.
Part of the Historia de la Literatura Española collection by Orbis (Barcelona, no. 64).
A work of interest to students of Spanish literature and fans of classical Golden Age theater.
