«Le Songe d'une nuit d'été» is the English-French bilingual edition of Shakespeare's comedy, published by Gallimard in paperback (367 pages).
The comedy interweaves a love intrigue in Athens with the fairy kingdom of Oberon and Titania. Puck, on Oberon's orders, pours a love potion on Demetrius and on the queen, who falls in love with Bottom, a weaver with a donkey's head. The play culminates with «Pyramus and Thisbe», theatre within the theatre, and blends love, dream and wonder.
Original work: A Midsummer Night's Dream (1595). French translation by Jean-Michel Déprats, introduction by Gisèle Venet, Folio Théâtre collection.
For students of French literature (Agrégation, prépas) and readers who want to compare the English text with its French translation.
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.
