«Romeo y Julieta» is the play by William Shakespeare, published by Austral in hardcover (160 pages, in Spanish).
In medieval Verona, two young people from feuding families fall in love in secret and defy inherited hatred; chance and fate precipitate a tragedy. Shakespeare intensifies the story with wordplay, alternation of prose and verse, and contrasts between the cultured and the colloquial, the lyrical and the dramatic.
Published in 2015 in the Austral Singular collection, with a translation by Ángel-Luis Pujante and including a reading guide by Clara Calvo.
Suitable for general readers and young people; the reading guide facilitates a first approach to Shakespeare.
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.
