Bøker av Lope de Vega

The villagers of Fuente Ovejuna in rural Spain rise up against their cruel and sexually predatory Commander, eventually killing him. When agents sent by the King and Queen set about torturing the villagers to find out who did the murder, each one gives the answer: 'Fuente Ovejuna did it'.

Lope de Vega (1562-1635), widely regarded as the architect of the drama of the Spanish Golden Age, created plots and characters notable for their energy, inventiveness, and dramatic power. This unique edition includes his most famous play, Fuente Ovejuna, as well as The Knight from Olmedo and Punishment without Revenge. Presented here in superb translation, these plays embody the very best of Lope's dramatic art.
