«El alcalde de Zalamea» is the play by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
The wealthy farmer Pedro Crespo hosts Captain don Álvaro de Ataide in his home during the passage of Spanish troops, and the honour of his daughter becomes the trigger for the conflict. The work weaves together honour, passion, abuse of power and class struggle, and pits military jurisdiction against the people's justice.
It belongs to the «Cátedra base» collection, edited by Gabriel Mas Mateu.
For readers of classical Spanish theatre and students of Golden Age literature.
Spanish Golden Age playwright, author of Life Is a Dream, The Mayor of Zalamea and many autos sacramentales.
