This volume includes several of Calderón's notable tragedies, showcasing his intricate storytelling and deep exploration of themes such as honor, love, and revenge. The collection presents characters embroiled in complex relationships and conflicts, reflecting the societal issues of Calderón's time. The opening of the selected volume features the play "El médico de su honra" (The Honor of His Honor), which begins with a dramatic incident involving Infante Don Enrique, who falls from his horse and loses consciousness.
