SCENE I—A pass of rocks, over which a storm is rolling away. SCENE I—A Throne-room in the Palace. Music within. SCENE I. Scene I. Pedro Calderon de la Barca was born in Madrid, January 17,of good family. He was educated at the Jesuit College in Madrid and at the University of Salamanca; and a doubtful tradition says that he began to write plays at the age of thirteen, life is a dream calderon gregary racz pdf download.
His literary activity was interrupted for ten years,by military service in Italy and the Low Countries, and again for a year or more in Catalonia. In he became a Knight of the Order of Santiago, and in he entered the priesthood, rising to the dignity of Superior of the Brotherhood of San Pedro in Madrid.
He held various offices in the court of Philip IV, who rewarded his services with pensions, and had his plays produced with great splendor. He died May 5, At the time when Calderon began to compose for the stage, the Spanish drama was at its height. Lope de Vega, the most prolific and, with Calderon, the greatest, of Spanish dramatists, was still alive; and by his applause gave encouragement to the beginner whose fame was to rival his own. The national type of drama which Lope had established was maintained in its essential characteristics by Calderon, and he produced abundant specimens of all its varieties.
Of regular plays he has left a hundred and twenty; of "Autos Sacramentales," the peculiar Spanish allegorical development of the medieval mystery, we have seventy-three; besides a considerable number of farces. The dominant motives in Calderon's dramas are characteristically national: fervid loyalty to Church and King, and a sense of honor heightened almost to the point of the fantastic.
Though his plays are laid in a great variety of scenes and ages, the sentiment and the characters remain essentially Spanish; and this intensely local quality has probably lessened the vogue of Calderon in other countries. In the construction and conduct of his plots he showed great skill, yet the ingenuity expended in the management of the story did not restrain the fiery emotion and opulent imagination which mark his finest speeches and give them a lyric quality which some critics regard as life is a dream calderon gregary racz pdf download greatest distinction.
Of all Calderon's works, "Life is a Dream" may be regarded as the most universal in its theme. It seeks to teach a lesson that may be learned from the philosophers and religious thinkers of many ages—that the world of our senses is a mere shadow, and that the only reality is to be found in the invisible and eternal.
The story which forms its basis is Oriental in origin, and in the form of the legend of "Barlaam and Josaphat" was familiar in all the literatures of the Middle Ages. Combined with this in the plot is the tale of Abou Hassan from the "Arabian Nights," the main situations in which are turned to farcical purposes in the Induction to the Shakespearean "Taming of the Shrew. The Scene of the first and third Acts lies on the Polish frontier: of the second Act, in Warsaw. As this version of Calderon's drama is not for acting, a higher and wider mountain-scene than practicable may be imagined for Rosaura's descent in the first Act and the soldiers' ascent in the last.
The bad watch kept by the sentinels who guarded their state-prisoner, together with much else not all! that defies sober sense in this wild drama, I must leave Life is a dream calderon gregary racz pdf download to answer for; whose audience were not critical of detail and probability, so long as a good story, with strong, rapid, and picturesque action and situation, was set before them.
Enter first from the topmost rock Rosaura, as from horseback, in man's attire; and, after her, Fife. Enter on one side Astolfo, Duke of Muscovy, with his train: and, on the other, life is a dream calderon gregary racz pdf download, the Princess Estrella, with hers. ACT III. ACT IV.
