«El zapatero y el rey» is the historical drama in four acts by José Zorrilla, published by Castalia Ediciones in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
Premiered in 1840, the play brought Zorrilla success and prestige. Pedro I of Castile foils a plot in favor of Enrique, ignores the papal excommunication and condemns the rebel ringleader, responsible for the death of the shoemaker Blas's father. The author shows him as a strong and just figure, against the dark legend that surrounded him.
Volume 85 of the Clásicos Castalia collection; includes both parts of the work. Edition and biographical and critical introduction by Jean Louis Picoche.
For readers of classical Spanish theater and literature students interested in Zorrilla's Romanticism and the legend of Pedro I of Castile.
José Zorrilla y Moral was a Spanish poet and dramatist, who became National Laureate.
