Life Is A Dream: The Graphic Novel
Calderon De La Barca, Ricardo Vilbor
The classical allegory by Calderon de la Barca now a full color graphic novel!
Focusing on Segismundo, Prince of Poland, the central argument is the conflict between free will and fate.
Sigismond, Prince of Poland, has been imprisoned in a tower since the day he was born by his father, King Basilio, following a grim prophecy that the prince would bring disaster to the country and death to the King.
While King Basilio has doubts, he finally frees his son. But, with his newfound liberation, the prince goes on a rampage, behaving like a wild animal as was prophesied!
Captured and imprisoned once more, Basilio is able to convince Sigismond that his experiences of freedom were but a dream. The citizens of the kingdom, however, remember the truth. Now viewing their king as monstrous for his actions against his son, a rebellion ensues!
Life is a Dream is Calderon's best-known and most studied work. The adaptation contains bonus material: the full text of the classic work as well as a study and discussion guide!
