«Las mocedades del Cid» is the play by Spanish dramatist Guillén de Castro, published by Orbis in 1983 in hardcover, with 187 pages, in Spanish.
The play narrates the youth of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, the future Cid Campeador, and his first steps as a knight: the pride of lineage, the duel that pits him against Jimena, family honor and loyalties divided between the nobility and the king. Guillén de Castro combines the tragic and the comic with the freedom typical of Spanish Baroque theater.
This edition is part of the collection Historia de la Literatura Española, number 63, from Ediciones Orbis (Barcelona, 1983).
