Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how the Spanish dramatist Pedro Calderon de la Barca developed the idea that life is illusory and ephemeral. The author analyzes Calderon's philosophical and religious beliefs and places them within the context of the Baroque period. In his renowned play, La Vida es Sueño (Life Is a Dream), Calderon argues that the world we perceive is merely a dream, and that true reality lies beyond our mortal comprehension. The author explores the play's themes of free will, fate, and the nature of existence, and discusses how Calderon's work influenced the development of Spanish literature and the broader Western philosophical tradition.
