«El rey Lear» is the tragedy by William Shakespeare, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (280 pages, in Spanish).
Written around 1605-1606, «El rey Lear» is one of Shakespeare's great tragedies: the aged monarch divides his kingdom among his daughters and unleashes a spiral of ingratitude, fraternal hatred, and madness. A bitter satire on human ingratitude, it shows passions pushed to the limit in characters swept along by their own actions.
Edition from the Instituto Shakespeare, directed by Manuel Ángel Conejero Dionís-Bayer. Corresponds to the eighth edition, in the Letras Universales collection (number 40).
For literature students and lovers of classical theater, with a Spanish-language edition from the Instituto Shakespeare.
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.
