Synopsis
Esta es la creacion mas lograda y de caracter mas universal de Calderon. Es, en sintesis, la plasmacion barroca de la idea de la fugacidad de la vida con todos los aditamentos geniales de construccion y estilo que el autor supo imprimirle. Con este pesimismo radical sobre el valor de la vida humana se interfiere el libre albedrio como afirmacion personal de Segismundo: "y teniendo yo mas alma/tengo menos libertad?"

About the Author
Pedro Calderón de la Barca (Madrid, 1600-Madrid, 1681). España. Su padre era noble y escribano en el consejo de hacienda del rey. Se educó en el colegio imperial de los jesuitas y más tarde entró en las universidades de Alcalá y Salamanca, aunque no se sabe si llegó a graduarse. Tuvo una juventud turbulenta. Incluso se le acusa de la muerte de algunos de sus enemigos. En 1621 se negó a ser sacerdote, y poco después, en 1623, empezó a escribir y estrenar obras de teatro. Escribió más de ciento veinte, otra docena larga en colaboración y alrededor de setenta autos sacramentales. Sus primeros estrenos fueron en corrales. Entre 1635 y 1637, Calderón de la Barca fue nombrado caballero de la Orden de Santiago. Por entonces publicó veinticuatro comedias en dos volúmenes y La vida es sueño (1636), su obra más célebre. En la década siguiente vivió en Cataluña y, entre 1640 y 1642, combatió con las tropas castellanas. Sin embargo, su salud se quebrantó y abandonó la vida militar. Entre 1647 y 1649 la muerte de la reina y después la del príncipe heredero provocaron el cierre de los teatros, por lo que Calderón tuvo que limitarse a escribir autos sacramentales. Calderón murió mientras trabajaba en una comedia dedicada a la reina María Luisa, mujer de Carlos II el Hechizado. Su hermanó José, hombre pendenciero, fue uno de sus editores más fieles.
