La Vida Es Sueno by Pedro Calderon de La Barca (Paperback / softback, 2016)

About this product

Product Information

Todo lo esencial del plan de esta poesia, quiza la mas famosa de nuestro dramaturgo, parece ser invencion suya exclusiva. Solo para la traza externa del argumento, que representa simbolicamente a la vida humana como un sue, puede haberse fundado en la narracion de Marco Polo, De consuetudinibus et conditionibus orientalium regionum, lib. II, cap. 28. Mas se parece a este drama el cuento oriental de Los durmientes que despiertan, que, acaso tradicionalmente, hubo de penetrar pronto en Europa. En las velas de Occidente aparecen con repeticiones muchas invenciones analogas, como, por ejemplo, la jornada tercera, vela 8. del Decameron; Grazzini, tomo II, pag. 117 de la edicion de Londres de 1793. Tal es tambien la fuente de la obra de Shakespeare, titulada Taming of the shrew; una comedia inglesa mas antigua, impresa en los Six old plays, y la Jeppe paa Bierge, de Holberg; pero Calderon ha considerado, bajo su aspecto formal y serio, el motivo comico usado en las obras anteriores para representar la idea de la nada de la vida humana en su duracion transitoria. Si examinamos esta composicion, ateniendos solo a su forma externa, ha de clasificarse entre los dramas peculiares del teatro espal, ya antes de Calderon, lles de hechos fantasticos extras para dar mas vuelo a la imaginacion, y crear un mundo maravilloso, en el cual la naturaleza humana parece sometida a leyes distintas de la realidad; pero que diferencia entre las comedias anteriores, de espectaculo, toscas, por lo general, de esta especie, y el drama de Calderon, que rebosa de profundos pensamientos, y que s ofrece al espiritu como a una manifestacion de lo eter, oponiendole lo finito, que desaparece para dejar solo la eternidad! Nuestro poeta muestra, al parecer, aficion singular a describir seres humas que crecen aislados de los demas mortales, repitiendose este pensamiento en otras muchas obras suyas, como, por ejemplo, en Las cadenas del demonio, Apolo y Climene, La hija del aire, Leonido y Marfisa, El monstruo de los jardines y Eco y Narciso. La fuente de este pensamiento, habra sido probablemente la vela religiosa de Barlaam y Josafat, en la cual se cuenta que un Principe, a causa de la desdicha que le amenazaba hasta cumplir los diez as, habia sido encerrado en una obscura cueva, y, despues del transcurso de este tiempo, habia salido a la luz del dia con motivo de una fiesta de corte, llenandose de asombro al contemplarse rodeado de muchos objetos de valor, y de seras y caballeros, lujosamente vestidos. Lo ultimo, sin duda, lo ha tenido presente Calderon en la escena primera del acto segundo. (Schack)
