Synopsis "El Perro del Hortelano; El Castigo sin Venganza (in Spanish)"

En El perro del hortelano (1613) sorprenden y deleitan aún el dinamismo de la acción, la adecuación del verso a la situación comunicativa y el retrato de una sociedad aristocrática aferrada al viejo código del honor. La noble Diana, condesa de Belflor, es dueña del destino de sus súbditos, pero sin embargo no le es permitido amar su secretario, el plebeyo Tedodoro. Una invención del gracioso criado Tristán permitirá la desigual boda y el triunfo del amor. El castigo sin venganza (1631), por su parte, es la última obra maestra que Lope legó a las tablas. Amor, muerte y honor son los tres grandes ejes que mueven la acción de la obra y que desencadenan el castigo del título: A partir de un acontecimiento real ocurrido de la Italia del Cuatrocientos, el dramaturgo construye una tragedia en la que los amores fatídicos de Federico y su madrastra Casandra llevan al Duque de Ferrara a debatirse entre el deseo de venganza y la piedad paterna.
Esta edición, a cargo del profesor A. David Kossoff, destaca por la limpieza y autenticidad del texto, así como por su análisis de estructuras dramáticas, acción, personajes y motivos.

FÉLIX LOPE DE VEGA CARPIO (Madrid, 1562 – 1635) Spanish playwright and poet, revolutionized the dramatic genre in the Golden Age. From a young age, Lope de Vega showed a precocious talent for writing, composing comedies and translating from Latin at an early age. His life was intense and often controversial, alternating periods of literary success with episodes of love affairs, duels, and exiles. He worked as a secretary for nobles, participated in the Spanish Armada, and, after a deep personal crisis, became a priest in 1614, never abandoning his literary work

In 1577, he entered the University of Alcalá and later served various powerful men. Becoming a famous author and a respectable family man after breaking up with his lover, Lope received two harsh blows in just one year: the deaths of his son and his wife in 1612 and 1613, plunging him into a deep crisis that led him to take holy orders. He even officiated mass. From this period are works like La dama boba, El perro del hortelano, and Fuenteovejuna. Both in quantity and quality, his work is vast, especially his theater, a genre in which the volume of his production is hardly quantifiable, even by experts.
