«El caballero de Olmedo» is the Spanish Golden Age tragicomedy by Lope de Vega, published by Planeta in paperback (126 pages, in Spanish).
Based on the real death of don Juan de Vivero in 1521, the work combines love and death in 17th-century Spain. Alonso, the Knight of Olmedo, follows the road that gives the play its title amid omens and tragic warnings, in a dramatic construction where the initial festive tone moves toward a tragic outcome.
First edition 1982; volume 36 of the Clásicos Universales Planeta collection, with edition, introduction and notes by Antonio Prieto.
It is especially suitable for high school students and for readers new to Golden Age theatre.
Spanish playwright and poet of the Golden Age, author of Fuente Ovejuna, The Knight from Olmedo and The Dog in the Manger.
