Two of the dramas contained in this volume are the most celebrated of all Calderon's writings. The first, "La Vida es Sueno", has been translated into many languages and performed with success on almost every stage in Europe but that of England. So late as the winter of 1866-7, in a Russian version, it drew crowded houses to the great theatre of Moscow; while a few years earlier, as if to give a signal proof of the reality of its title, and that Life was indeed a Dream, the Queen of Sweden expired in the theatre of Stockholm during the performance of "La Vida es Sueno". In England the play has been much studied for its literary value and the exceeding beauty and lyrical sweetness of some passages; but with the exception of a version by John Oxenford published in "The Monthly Magazine" for 1842, which being in blank verse does not represent the form of the original, no complete translation into English has been attempted. Some scenes translated with considerable elegance in the metre of the original were published by Archbishop Trench in 1856; but these comprised only a portion of the graver division of the drama. The present version of the entire play has been made with the advantages which the author's long experience in the study and interpretation of Calderon has enabled him to apply to this master-piece of the great Spanish poet. All the forms of verse have been preserved; while the closeness of the translation may be inferred from the fact, that not only the whole play but every speech and fragment of a speech are represented in English in the exact number of lines of the original, without the sacrifice, it is to be hoped, of one important idea.

Usually recognized as Calderón's finest drama, Life Is a Dream premiered at the Royal Court of Spain. Its theme, revealed in the title, focuses on the instability of life and the illusory nature of the world. The story opens one night in the countryside between Poland and Russia, where Rosaura, a noblewoman disguised as a man, and her servant are journeying on foot after the loss of their horses. The opening lines give an example of Calderón's imagery and language: Are you the fabulous hippogriff running in harness with the wind?Flameless thunderbolt, featherless bird, fish without scales, Monster of the four elements without instinct to check your headlong flight?

Magistral obra de Calderón de la Barca. En 1570 un ejército bajo el mando de don Juan de Austria conquistó la villa granadina de Galera arrebatándosela a los moriscos que se habían sublevado contra las duras medidas de aculturación forzosa decretadas por Felipe II. La villa fue saqueada, y una joven bellísima, conocida como la Maleha, fue apuñalada por un aventurero ansioso de apropiarse de sus brazaletes y pendientes de oro. Un morisco audaz, llamado el Tuzaní, que pretendía la mano de la joven, se infiltró como soldado cristiano, descubrió la identidad del asesino y vengó la muerte de la Maleha. Este suceso fue convertido en un impactante drama de amor, honor, infamia y venganza.

El gran mercado del Mundo. Pedro Calderón de la Barca. España 1600 - 1681

Pedro Calderón de la Barca (1600 -1681), was a dramatist, poet and writer of the Spanish Golden Age. During certain periods of his life he was also a soldier and a Roman Catholic priest. Born when the Spanish Golden Age theatre was being defined by Lope de Vega, he developed it further, his work being regarded as the culmination of the Spanish Baroque theatre. As such, he is regarded as one of Spain's foremost dramatists and one of the finest playwrights of world literature.

The Purgatory of St. Patrick is a play written by Pedro Calderon De La Barca, a renowned Spanish playwright, in the 17th century. The play is a religious drama that explores the themes of sin, redemption, and the afterlife. The story revolves around the character of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, who is depicted as being in purgatory after his death. The play follows St. Patrick's journey through purgatory, where he encounters various souls who are also in the process of atoning for their sins. Through his interactions with these souls, St. Patrick learns valuable lessons about repentance, forgiveness, and the nature of God's mercy. The play is a powerful meditation on the human condition and the struggle for spiritual enlightenment. It is also a testament to Calderon's mastery of the art of drama, as he skillfully weaves together complex theological concepts with compelling characters and dramatic plot twists. The Purgatory of St. Patrick remains a classic work of Spanish literature and a timeless exploration of the human quest for salvation.LEOGAIRE.
