«Timón de Atenas» is the play by William Shakespeare, published by Institut del Teatre in Catalan.
The play centers on Timon, an Athenian aristocrat who squanders his fortune on banquets and favors. When ruin catches up with him and he asks his friends for help, he discovers that the gratitude of those around him was mere appearance. Hurt and disappointed, he abandons public life and becomes a misanthrope who denounces the falseness and self-interest of Athenian society.
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.
