«Fuenteovejuna» is the Golden Age play by Lope de Vega, published by CreateSpace in paperback (70 pages, in Spanish).

Before the royal judge, everyone answers «Fuenteovejuna did it», and the crown ends up pardoning the town. The play has been read as a symbol of popular rebellion against the abuse of power.
