«El mercader de Venecia; Como gustéis» is a paperback edition bringing together two plays by William Shakespeare, published by Ediciones Cátedra.
«El mercader de Venecia» interweaves Antonio's loan from the Jew Shylock, with a pound of flesh as collateral, and Portia's choice among caskets. «Como gustéis», almost a pastoral comedy, echoes Montemayor's «Diana» and develops amorous misunderstandings in a bucolic setting.
Letras Universales collection, number 9. Edition by the Instituto Shakespeare directed by Manuel Ángel Conejero. Published in 2005.
Aimed at literature students and readers of classic theatre who want to discover two Shakespeare comedies in Spanish.
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.
