«Romeo y Julieta» is the theatrical tragedy by William Shakespeare, published by Austral in paperback (224 pages, in Spanish).
In sixteenth-century Verona, Romeo and Juliet, two young people from families locked in an ancestral feud, fall in love at first sight and decide to marry in secret. The death of Juliet's cousin at Romeo's hands and the young man's subsequent banishment precipitate an ending marked by chance and fate. The work combines wordplay, verse and prose, and a register that ranges from the lyrical to the dramatic, with the poetic force that characterizes Shakespeare's theater.
Edition with translation and editing by Ángel-Luis Pujante and includes a reading guide by Clara Calvo, in the Clásica collection, Theater series, from Austral.
For readers who want to approach universal classical theater with an annotated edition and supplementary study material.
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.
