Life is a dream. Silence is gold. Calderon P. de la Bark

The book included two plays of the most famous playwright of the Spanish Baroque, in a sense, its personification, one - the legendary, the other - little -known. Under one cover, they were united by a poet, Spanist, translator Natalya Vanhanen - the second full author of this volume - truly Pushkin’s “strange rapprocheces” coincided with the Spaniard so dear to her heart. She, like no one, heard him and invites us to share the delight of the discoverer she tested by her. And the scenic editorial offices included in the book - that is, the abbreviated versions made by the translator himself will turn out to be useful for those people of the theater that dare to join this Russian -Spanish dialogue.
