«Sogno di una notte di mezza estate» is the stage comedy by William Shakespeare, published by Feltrinelli in paperback (224 pages, in Italian).
The play interweaves several plots: the crossed loves of two couples from Athens, the conflict between Oberon and Titania in an enchanted forest, the pranks of the sprite Puck, and the rehearsals of a group of craftsmen preparing a play for the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta.
The edition presents the original English text facing the Italian translation. The translation, begun by Agostino Lombardo, was completed by Nadia Fusini. Work written around 1595.
Recommended for literature students and readers who want to compare the Italian version with Shakespeare's original text.
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.
