«La vida es sueño» is the play by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback, in Spanish.
The drama follows Segismundo, a prince imprisoned since birth by a prophecy that foretells he will become a tyrant. King Basilio releases him for one day to test the prophecy; that test pits free will against determinism, with echoes of power, justice, and the human condition.
It belongs to the Biblioteca de Plata de los Clásicos Españoles collection, with selection and commentary by Francisco Rico; the work was originally published in 1635.
For readers of classical theatre and students of Spanish Golden Age literature.
Spanish Golden Age playwright, author of Life Is a Dream, The Mayor of Zalamea and many autos sacramentales.
