«La vida es sueño» is the play by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, published by Almadraba Editorial in paperback (237 pages, in Spanish).
A king imprisons his son, Prince Segismundo, from birth because the stars foretell he will be a cruel monarch. When the prophecy is put to the test, the plot explores the boundary between dream and reality and raises the conflict between fate and freedom, with palace intrigues and characters that function as symbols.
Work originally published in 1635. It belongs to the Clásicos Almadraba collection (number 8), with an introduction by Arturo García Ramos, illustrations by Eduardo Estrada and commentary activities.
Didactic edition aimed at the school environment, for students working on Spanish Baroque theatre in the classroom.
Spanish Golden Age playwright, author of Life Is a Dream, The Mayor of Zalamea and many autos sacramentales.
