El Alcalde de Zalamea (Spanish Edition)

This edition by Vincent Martin (San Diego State University professor) is great for readers whose first language is English and not Spanish. It provides footnotes with definitions from Spanish to English of difficult to understand words, as well as explanations of scenes and cultural notes. Furthermore, it provides an introduction with the biography of the author Calderón de la Barca, the history of the play, notes on how to read Spanish comedia and more. I highly recommend this edition for students learning about Golden Age theater. ~ For lovers of timeless classics, this series of beautifully packaged and affordably priced editions of world literature encompasses a variety of literary genres, including theater, novels, poems, and essays. Los lectores tomarán un gran placer en descubrir los clásicos con estas bellas y económicas ediciones de las grandes obras literarias.
