«El caballero de Olmedo» is the play by Félix Lope de Vega, published by Austral in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
The play is inspired by the real death of don Juan de Vivero, knight of Olmedo, in 1521, to build a story of love and death. Don Alonso courts Inés in Medina amid rivalries and omens that cast a shadow over the initial festive tone and gradually darken the comedy.
This edition was published in 2011. It is volume 5 of the Austral Clásica collection, within the Theatre series, with edition and reading guide by Ignacio Arellano and Juan Manuel Escudero.
For literature students and readers interested in Golden Age drama.
