«La vida es sueño» is the play by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, published by Austral in paperback (248 pages, in Spanish).
Prince Segismundo, imprisoned since birth because of a prophecy foretelling a cruel reign, becomes the centre of a plot that questions the boundary between dream and wakefulness. Echoing the myth of the cave, the play addresses fate, free will and the possibility of redemption through reason and virtue.
A work from 1635, this title belongs to the Austral Clásica collection and includes a reading guide by Evangelina Rodríguez Cuadros.
Suitable for readers of classical Spanish theatre and literature students wishing to delve deeper into the work.
Spanish Golden Age playwright, author of Life Is a Dream, The Mayor of Zalamea and many autos sacramentales.
