«El perro del hortelano» is the courtly comedy by Lope de Vega, published by Edicomunicación in paperback (157 pages, in Spanish).
The play presents a romantic tangle around Diana, Countess of Belflor, who is attracted to her secretary Teodoro, but pride and social conventions prevent her from accepting him. To avoid losing him, she hinders Teodoro's relationship with her maid Marcela, in an attitude that evokes the fable of the dog in the manger: neither eats nor lets eat.
Annotated edition by Xabier Manrique de Vedia, in the Fontana Collection. The work was originally published in 1618.
Recommended for Literature students and readers interested in classical Golden Age theatre.
