King Lear is one of William Shakespeare's most outstanding works, written in 1605. This edition, belonging to the 'El Libro De Bolsillo - Bibliotecas De Autor - Biblioteca Shakespeare' collection by Alianza Editorial, offers a careful translation and analysis of the work. The story, set in pagan England, narrates the consequences of Lear's decisions when dividing his kingdom among his daughters, triggering a series of tragic events.
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" or simply "the Bard". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, 3 long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
