«Coriolano» is the tragedy by William Shakespeare, published by Espasa Calpe in 1990, in paperback (216 pages, in Spanish).
The work recreates the story of Gaius Marcius Coriolanus, a Roman general famous for his valour in battle, and his conflict with Rome's political institutions. After being rejected by the people he had served, Coriolanus allies with his former enemies and marches against his own city. Shakespeare thus explores military pride, popular manipulation and the tension between the individual and the state, in one of his most political tragedies.
It belongs to the Austral Collection, number 163. The translation and edition are signed by Ángel-Luis Pujante.
Recommended for readers of classical theatre, English Renaissance literature and those studying Shakespeare's work.
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.
