«La vida es sueño» is the play by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, published by Alhambra in 1980 in paperback (379 pages, in Spanish).
In this work of the Spanish Golden Age, Prince Segismundo has lived locked up since birth because a prophecy predicts he will be a cruel king. Pedro Calderón de la Barca thus raises the questions of destiny and free will, and shows how the experience of living can blur the boundary between dream and reality.
It belongs to the Alhambra Classics Collection, number 17. It includes the comedy, the auto and the loa, with study and notes by Enrique Rull. «La vida es sueño» was originally published in 1635.
For students of Spanish literature and readers of Golden Age classical theatre.
Spanish Golden Age playwright, author of Life Is a Dream, The Mayor of Zalamea and many autos sacramentales.
