«Ricardo III» is the historical drama by William Shakespeare, published by Austral in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
The action takes place in late medieval England, between the last years of Edward IV and the brief reign of Richard III. The Duke of Gloucester, driven by excessive ambition, weaves conspiracies and removes obstacles until he reaches the throne, only to fall afterwards; the play closes the cycle of the Wars of the Roses.
Translation and edition by Ángel-Luis Pujante, professor of English Philology and National Translation Prize winner. Original title: The Tragedy of King Richard the Third. Wars of the Roses series (position 8).
For readers of classical theatre, literature students and those following Shakespeare's historical cycles.
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.
