«La vida es sueño» is the philosophical play by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, published by Nueva Generación de Editores in paperback (96 pages).
The plot follows Segismundo, a prince imprisoned since birth because a prophecy announced he would be a cruel ruler. When he is finally released, his behaviour seems to confirm the prediction, but the text blurs the boundary between dream and reality and questions whether destiny can be corrected with free will.

For readers of classical Spanish theatre, philosophy and Golden Age literature; it is a common work in school settings.
