«Antonio y Cleopatra» is the tragedy by William Shakespeare, published by Espasa Calpe in paperback (200 pages, in Spanish).
The play focuses on the romance between the triumvir Mark Antony and Queen Cleopatra, united by passion while Rome's power is being reorganised. Between loyalties, political agreements and personal desires, Antony must choose between his relationship with Cleopatra and his position against Octavius Caesar. The drama contrasts the private and public spheres, and shows how ambition, betrayal and duty condition the protagonists' relationship, in a setting that ranges from Alexandria to Rome.
Translation and edition by Ángel-Luis Pujante. The edition was published in 2001 in the Austral Collection.
For those seeking classical theatre and Shakespeare's historical tragedies in a Spanish edition, with translation by Ángel-Luis Pujante.
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.
