«La vida es sueño» is the Golden Age play by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, published by Alianza in paperback (168 pages, in Spanish).
The drama centers on Segismundo, a prince imprisoned since birth by a prophecy that he will become a tyrant. Freed for a time, he faces the conflict between free will and destiny and the doubt of whether reality is a dream. Calderón reflects on the human condition, the transience of life and the capacity to make amends.
Composed around 1635, this Alianza edition includes an introduction and notes by Domingo Ynduráin and belongs to El Libro de Bolsillo - Literatura.
For literature students and readers interested in the classics of Spanish theater.
Dramaturgo español del Siglo de Oro, autor de La vida es sueño, El alcalde de Zalamea y numerosos autos sacramentales.
