«Fuente Ovejuna» is the play by Félix Lope de Vega y Carpio, published by Mcgraw Hill Editorial in paperback (238 pages, in Spanish).
Written in the Spanish Golden Age, this play recreates the uprising of the Cordovan village of Fuente Obejuna against the commander Fernán Gómez de Guzmán. The nobleman's abuses lead the people to act as one, and the piece becomes a plea for popular justice and collective dignity. The famous response «Fuente Ovejuna, señor» sums up that unity.
It corresponds to the 2005 edition of the Mcgraw Literary Classics collection. The play is based on a historical event from 1476.
Recommended for students of Spanish literature and for readers seeking classic Golden Age theatre.
