ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A carefully crafted bilingual edition of the most celebrated tragedy in literature. With an introduction by Adrian Poole, professor at Cambridge Trinity College. Edited by Josep Maria Jaum , professor at the Universitat Aut noma de Barcelona. Time has not healed the wounds of the Montague and the Capulet, two Verona families estranged by long-standing disputes whose origins almost no one can remember. With hate came violence, with violence came the first innocent victims. But this hatred also emerged from the love of two young people destined to misery: Romeo and Juliet. Theirs is one of the most popular stories of all time, and their tragic outcome has become a landmark of world literature, "for never was a story of much woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo." Presented in the extraordinary version of translator Josep Maria Jaum , this bilingual edition opens with an enlightening introduction by Adrian Poole, professor at Cambridge Trinity College, that brings us closer to this song of youth, passion, love, and the inescapable dangers of hate.

Shakespeare’s Hamlet is a timeless tragedy of revenge, madness, and political intrigue. Prince Hamlet’s quest to avenge his father’s murder unfolds with poetic brilliance, psychological depth, and enduring themes of mortality and truth. One of the most influential works in English literature.

Its lyricism, comedy (both broad and subtle) and magical transformations have long made A Midsummer Night’s Dream one of the most popular of Shakespeare’s works. The supernatural and the mundane, the illusory and the substantial, are all shimmeringly blended. Love is treated as tragic, poignant, absurd and farcical. ‘Lord, what fools these mortals be!’, jeers Robin Goodfellow; but the joke may be on him and on his master Oberon when Bottom the weaver, his head transformed into that of an ass, is embraced by the voluptuously amorous Titania. Recent stage-productions of A Midsummer Night’s Dream have emphasised the enchanting, spectacular, ambiguous and erotically joyous aspects of this magical drama which culminates in a multiple celebration of marriage.
