«La vida es sueño» is the play by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, published by Castalia Ediciones in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Written in the 17th century, within Spanish Baroque theatre, it raises the conflict between destiny and freedom. Segismundo, a prince imprisoned since childhood by a prophecy that foretells he will be a tyrant, faces the possibility of ruling and the doubt of whether what he has lived is real or a dream. The play invites reflection on the human condition and the ability to choose one's own path.
