«Don Álvaro o la fuerza del sino» is the romantic drama by Ángel de Saavedra, Duke of Rivas, published by Castalia Ediciones in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
First performed in 1835, the work consolidated romantic drama in Spain. Inspired by Andalusian legends, the Duke of Rivas creates the prototype of the romantic hero: a passionate man, victim of social intolerance and honour, pursued by an ill-fated destiny. The action, mixing verse and prose, leads him to seek in death the only way to affirm his individual freedom.
This edition is part of the Castalia Didáctica collection (number 36), edited by Rafael Balbín, and includes an introduction, bibliography, notes and study guidance. Published in 2010.
Recommended for students and readers wishing to approach a classic of Spanish theatre with didactic support, as the volume offers materials to understand the work in its historical and literary context.
