WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, página 39 de 151

The complete play is translated into plain English! 'But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east and Juliet is the sun'! This title presents the tragic tale of doomed love, set in Verona, Italy, where the Montagues and the Capulets constantly feud and bring unrest to the city. So how could love possibly survive between this pair of star-crossed lovers, Romeo Montague and Juliet Capulet? Only Shakespeare could take such a romantic story and turn it into a soul-searching tragedy.

«La grandeza de Shakespeare reside en su capacidad negativa, en su lejanía, en su neutralidad respecto a los personajes, los valores, las situaciones. Antonio Machado sugirió algo análogo: Shakespeare fue un "poeta de poetas", es decir, un creador de personajes que dicen cada cual los poemas de su propio sentir, sin revelar el sentir de su autor.» José María Valverde

Ultimo capolavoro del poeta, forse il più personale dei drammi di Shakespeare, "La tempesta" è pervaso da una visione rassegnata e insieme serena della vita. Sulla magica isola di Prospero, fantasia e realta si compongono in un mondo dove il dolore e la violenza sono presenti ma esorcizzati da grazia e saggezza. Opera ricca e problematica, densa e polivalente, nella quale il distacco dalle passioni della vita e la perdita di illusioni permette "di comprendere molto e di accettare il resto", sfugge a ogni definizione che ne riduca il valore o ne attenui lo spessore. Introduzione di Nemi D'Agostino.

Once upon a time on a dark winter night, a ghost appears on the ramparts of Castle Elsinore in Denmark. It closely resembles the recently deceased king of Denmark. The guards see it first, and then the scholar Horatio confronts it. But it doesn't speak to them. Impatient to know what the ghost's appearance means, they summon Hamlet, the prince of Denmark. Hamlet has returned to Denmark to attend his father's funeral. Yet, he finds himself also attending his mother Gertrude's wedding to his uncle Claudius, who has inherited the throne. What will the ghost tell Hamlet? One of the most intense and intriguing tragedies of all time is built upon the answer to this question. William Shakespeare's Hamlet is not just a story of a mad prince out to avenge his father's death. It is also the story of the struggle of a nation against Fate. It is the story of human willpower battling the odds. It is not only the story of a man at war with the world around him, but also the story of a man in conflict with his own mind. It is the story of a time when something is rotten in the state of Denmark.
