A beautiful and haunting tale of love, betrayal, knowledge, and power, Life's a Dream (La vida es sue�o, 1636) is the best known and most widely admired play of Catholic Europe's greatest dramatist, Pedro Calder�n de la Barca (1600-1681). Calder�n's long life witnessed both the pinnacle and collapse of Spanish political power as well as the great flowering of Spanish classical literature. Michael Kidd's new prose translation renders Calder�n's masterpiece into a transparent, modern American idiom that preserves the beauty and complexity of Calder�n's Baroque Spanish. The result is a highly readable and adaptable text that is enhanced by a generous selection of supporting materials, including a thorough critical introduction and glossary.
