This Austral edition presents two of William Shakespeare's most representative comedies: 'The Merchant of Venice' and 'As You Like It'. In these works, love is the main engine, leading the protagonists to a world of fantasy where they must overcome obstacles to achieve happiness. Ángel Luis Pujante, translator and preparer of this edition, invites us to discover the ironies and subtleties of 'The Merchant of Venice', as well as the unconventional character of 'As You Like It', where Shakespeare explores the theatricality of life with great wisdom.

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.
