«Otel·lo» is the tragedy by William Shakespeare translated by Miquel Desclot, published by labutxaca in paperback (184 pages, in Catalan).
The play centers on Otel·lo, the Moor of Venice, and his wife Desdemona. Iago, resentful and manipulative, sows distrust in him and unleashes a spiral of jealousy with a tragic ending. The action moves from Venice to Cyprus and interweaves affection with pride, passion and revenge.
Shakespeare's original play was published in 1603. The story is based on the tale by Gianbattista Giraldi Cinthio published in 1565.
Aimed at students studying Shakespeare's theater and at readers of the universal classics.
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.
