«The Tempest» is the tragicomedy by William Shakespeare, published by Vicens Vives and the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in paperback (317 pages, in Catalan).
Prospero, exiled on an island with his daughter Miranda, conjures a magical storm to bring those who betrayed him there. Amid disguises, deceptions and games of appearances, the tragicomedy speaks of forgiveness, redemption through work, the artificiality of human nature and how difficult it is to achieve freedom.

Edition designed for classroom reading and for those who wish to tackle Shakespeare in Catalan with supporting 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.
