Este ebook presenta "La vida es sueño", con un sumario dinámico y detallado. La vida es sueño es una obra de teatro de Pedro Calderón de la Barca estrenada en 1635 y perteneciente al movimiento literario del barroco. Esta historia trata sobre un rey llamado Basilio. Este rey iba a tener un hijo. Pero cuando lo tuvo un hado le dijo que ese hijo iba a traer el desastre al reino. En efecto, nada más nacer la madre muere, y el rey, asustado manda a su hijo a una torre escondida entre montañas donde nadie supiera que él está. Sólo Clotaldo, su ayo, conoce de su paradero. Habiéndose quedado Basilio sin descendientes varones, decide hacer un pacto de matrimonio entre la infanta Estrella y Astolfo, duque de Moscovia, para que de esta forma, alguien pudiera subir al trono. Pero Basilio reflexiona sobre Segismundo y decide devolverlo a palacio para ver lo que sucede y este se muestra violento y desconsiderado con nobles, damas, criados, e incluso con su padre, el cual le devuelve a la torre donde Clotaldo le convence de que todo lo sucedido había sido un sueño. Segismundo llega a conclusiones sobre la vida y los sueños. Pedro Calderón de la Barca (1600 - 1681) fue un escritor barroco español del Siglo de Oro, fundamentalmente conocido por su teatro.La obra teatral de Calderón de la Barca significa la culminación barroca del modelo teatral creado a finales del siglo XVI y comienzos del XVII por Lope de Vega. Según el recuento que él mismo hizo el año de su muerte, su producción dramática consta de ciento diez comedias y ochenta autos sacramentales, loas, entremeses y otras obras.

La vida es sueño Spanish Edition eBook Pedro Calderón de la Barca

Even though I have a fairly good level of reading comprehension of Spanish in general, I find the language of Spanish drama of this period to be difficult to understand. Many times I have tried to read La Vida es Sueno without commentary, only to put it aside. This edition with notes by Vincent Martin is excellent. There are helpful footnotes on particularly difficult verses and archaic words have a definition on the same page. One feature that is truly beneficial is the very succinct introductory explanation of prosody and line scanning. I have always been baffled by the meter of dramatic poetry in de la Barca and de Vega, but not anymore. The only negative criticism is that the definition of the archaic words are printed on the right hand margin and often spill over to the next line where another definition begins. This can be confusing and takes some adjustment to understand. Ideally the play should be read without any notes, but for those who are in the position of requiring a commentary, this is a fantastic tool for obtaining a thorough comprehension of La Vida Es Sueno. Hopefully the publisher Cervantes and Co will provide us with more plays in this format. The commentary is in English.

La vida es sueño Spanish Edition eBook Pedro Calderón de la Barca Reviews


This edition by Vincent Martin (San Diego State University professor) is great for readers whose first language is English and not Spanish. It provides footnotes with definitions from Spanish to English of difficult to understand words, as well as explanations of scenes and cultural notes. Furthermore, it provides an introduction with the biography of the author Calderón de la Barca, the history of the play, notes on how to read Spanish comedia and more. I highly recommend this edition for students learning about Golden Age theater.
The story itself is intriguing (think Shakespeare, except this is his contemporary from Spain) and though much of the actions are archaic the result is still a compelling read. (Though it's even better if you get to see it performed.)
I was lucky to take the editor's seminar at SDSU and listen to his lecture on the play and the author. He is highly entertaining and has deep knowledge on the work he edited. The book was not required but I was able to borrow this book to study it prior to the lecture.
However, I am not biased, if you're a more advanced Spanish reader, I would recommend the Cátedra edition instead.

Is a classic. Leerlo ahora es recordar mi adolescencia. Despues la he visto representada mas de una vez. Recomiendo que todos los que vieron o leyeron esta obra en su juventud la vuelvan a leer.
Love it!
