The masterwork of Spain's preeminent dramatist—now in a new verse translation
Life Is a Dream is a work many hold to be the supreme example of Spanish Golden Age drama. Imbued with highly poetic language and humanist ideals, it is an allegory that considers contending themes of free will and predestination, illusion and reality, played out against the backdrop of court intrigue and the restoration of personal honor.
In the mountainous barrens of Poland, the rightful heir to the kingdom has been imprisoned since birth in an attempt by his father to thwart fate. Meanwhile, a noblewoman arrives to seek revenge against the man who deceived and forsook her love for the prospect of becoming king of Poland. Richly symbolic and metaphorical, Life Is a Dream explores the deepest mysteries of human experience.

reviewed Life Is a Dream on July 20, 2020 Life Is a Dream
"The Idiot" by Fyodor Dostoevsky is the best novel ever written. "Life is a Dream" by Pedro Calderon de la Barca is the best play ever written. Those two + Crime and Punishment are the only works of literature with no flaws I have read to the day.
Re-read: I haven't changed my opinion the slightest bit. "The Idiot" and "Life is a Dream" are perfect, with "Crime and Punishment", and "Don Quixote" coming close.
