These were the long, invasive tendrils that undermined and ultimately precipitated Spanish hegemony in the world. But it is quite paradoxical that a nation starving and in ruins should give birth to the splendid Spanish Golden Age. Inspired by a 15th-century historical event, which the master Lope de Vega uses to symbolically highlight the rebellion against injustice by peoples oppressed by the tyranny of their rulers, and the way in which they confront such circumstances in the town of Fuenteovejuna. A classic of Spanish literature, staged countless times.
