Years later, he decides to drug him and take him to the palace to test him. When Segismundo awakens as a prince, he unleashes chaos. Returned to his prison, he is led to believe that it was all a dream. This masterpiece by Calderón de la Barca poses the most famous existential question in literature: What is real? Are we free or slaves of our destiny?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eAbout the edition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eWhat makes this work unique are the paintings by \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"68\" data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eGabriel Grün\u003c\/b\u003e. His style, indebted to the great classical masters but with a surreal and grotesque touch, fits Calderón like a glove.

If Lope de Vega was the force of nature of Spanish theater, Calderón was its architect and its philosopher. Soldier, priest, and court poet, he brought the Golden Age to its maximum technical perfection. His works not only entertain but also pose humanity's great doubts about freedom, honor, and reality. With him, the Baroque reached its intellectual peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe illustrator:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"15\" data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eGabriel Grün\u003c\/b\u003e (Buenos Aires, 1978). This plastic artist seems to paint from another century. His technical mastery of oil and his realistic style—which draws from the great masters of the Renaissance and Baroque—allow him to create images that are both disturbing and beautiful. In this work, Grün sculpts with paint the anguish and darkness of Segismundo's cell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eTechnical specifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pedro Calderón de la Barca\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\"\u003eIllustrations:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabriel Grün\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"13,3,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"13,3,0\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Libros del Zorro Rojo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"13,4,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"13,4,0\"\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover (Cartoné) and high-quality finishes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"13,5,0\"\u003e\n\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"13,5,0\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Large format (ideal for appreciating the oil paintings).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Libros del Zorro Rojo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55709874913606,"sku":"Est8\/Bal5","price":23.66,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0797\/5590\/3302\/files\/Lavidaessueno.webp?v=1770981040","url":"https:\/\/libreriacasadrojan.com\/en\/products\/la-vida-es-sueno-ilustrado-tienda","provider":"Librería Casa Drojan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
