- Spanish?
- I was going to write this review in Spanish, but, all the other ones are in English, so I will play along...
This books has one passage, when Seguismundo talks to the girl for the first time, when he says:
Con cada vez que te veo
nueva admiración me das,
y cuando te miro más,
aun más mirarte deseo.
Ojos hidrópicos creo
que mis ojos deben ser;
pues cuando es muerte el beber,
beben más, y de esta suerte,
viendo que el ver me da muerte,
estoy muriendo por ver.
God, I never get tired of reading that passage, it is the best, my favorite in the world.
Loved the rest of the book.
Ps: For the lawyers: The above passage is copyrighted, blah, not mine, yours, blah. - 2007-01-14, 2 of 2 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- A story of destiny, hate, love, and war.
- This book is one of the most comprehensive works of Spanish literature. It forces you to think about honor, loyalty, love, and dreams. Perception is reality in this world created by Calderon de la Barca. This is a timeless creation.

- Fascinating tale of humanity and cruelty, dreams and reality
- This play by Pedro Calderon is one of the treasures of Spanish literature. From the golden age of hispanic civilisation comes this tale of a country in turmoil, the mistreated prince at the heart of it all, and a mysterious woman who brings order out of chaos.
