Synopsis "Hamlet (in Spanish)"

El exquisito trabajo de John Austen, sobre la pieza más extensa de Shakespeare, se nutre de la influencia de Aubrey Beardsley y Harry Clarke, contemporáneos y coterráneos.«Dormir, morir, tal vez soñar.» La pieza más extensa de Shakespeare es una obra de venganza. Pero, sobre todo, es una obra que traspasa límites: los juegos de palabras de Hamlet suponen trazos de comedia en una atmósfera esencialmente trágica donde los límites entre representación dramática y vida real quedan difuminados; la venganza finalmente se consuma en una escena en que, como exhibición lúdica, se actúa un combate. Las palabras de Hamlet «Dormir, morir, tal vez soñar» dan cuenta de este fino celaje, inherente a la obra, en el que queda incluido el propio Shakespeare, cuyo padre había fallecido recientemente. Esta edición recupera el exquisito trabajo de ilustración de John Austen de 1922, que orla Hamlet con estampas de un fuerte carácter esteticista. La traducción de Ángel-Luis Pujante -referencia indiscutida del teatro shakespeariano- rubrica una distinguida labor sobre uno de los libros más leídos y representados de la historia de occidente.

William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. April 23, 1564jul. - Ibid., April 23/May 3, 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. Often known as the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard), he is considered the most important writer in the English language and one of the most famous in world literature.

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, "Shakespeare is generally acknowledged as the greatest of all time writers, a unique figure in the history of literature. The fame of other poets, such as Homer and Dante Alighieri, or novelists such as Leo Tolstoy or Charles Dickens, has transcended national barriers, but none has achieved the reputation of Shakespeare, whose works today are read and performed more frequently and in more countries than ever. The prophecy of one of his great contemporaries, Ben Jonson, has thus been fulfilled: 'Shakespeare does not belong to one age but to eternity'".

Among his most notable works are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. His ability to portray the complexities of human nature, along with his mastery in the use of verse and language, has made him a timeless figure.
