## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent play at an excellent price
*by P***E on September 11, 2005*

This play is a hidden gem. Calderon has written a classic comedy that follows the formula but ventures into classic philosophy as well: what is our life? Is it real? Is it a dream? If it is a dream, how then should we live our lives? This is the center of Oedipus Rex, with its fate versus free will theme, and Calderon explores it with humor and compassion. The Dover edition is inexpensive but doesn't cut corners, making it perfect for college students. I highly recommend it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent translation
*by W***S on March 13, 2019*

A very fine English rendering of a great classic. It avoids the pitfalls of trying to duplicate the rhymed couplets of the original Spanish, or of a flat prose, and opts for a simple verse, elevated and clear.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Big  Help
*by L***N on May 29, 2015*

I needed to read this because I knew it was the key to understanding El Relato de una Vida Equivocada, which I am teaching in a college course right now. I enjoyed reading it, and I'm glad it was there for me to read, but, perhaps because of the way ebooks present physically, I didn't think it was the best edition of the work.
