«Macbeth» is the tragedy by William Shakespeare, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (392 pages, in Spanish and English).
Composed around 1606 and based on ancient chronicles, the play follows a Scottish nobleman who, spurred by witches and his wife, kills the king to reign. Shakespeare avoids a simple duel between good and evil: Lady Macbeth is more than a villain, and guilt intertwines with fate and personal will.
Tenth edition of the Letras Universales collection, volume 55. The Spanish translation is by the Instituto Shakespeare, directed by Manuel Ángel Conejero Dionís-Bayer.
For students of literature and theater, and for those wanting a bilingual edition of Macbeth.
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.
