«La vida es sueño» is a Golden Age play by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, published by Ediciones Cátedra in the Letras Hispánicas collection (208 pages, in Spanish).
The play explores the conflict between fate and free will through Segismundo, a prince imprisoned since birth due to a prophecy. His temporary release and subsequent return to the tower spark a reflection on the transience of life, power, and the human condition, with the famous doubt of whether everything experienced is a dream.
This edition in the Letras Hispánicas collection, number 57, is edited by Ciriaco Morón Arroyo and includes a critical study of the work.
Recommended for students of Spanish literature and readers interested in classical Golden Age theatre.
Spanish Golden Age playwright, author of Life Is a Dream, The Mayor of Zalamea and many autos sacramentales.
