«El mercader de Venecia. Coriolano» is the classic theatre volume by William Shakespeare, published by Edaf in paperback (232 pages, in Spanish).
«El mercader de Venecia. Coriolano» brings together two plays by Shakespeare. In «El mercader de Venecia», Shylock demands a pound of flesh for a loan, in a Venice dominated by prejudice and justice. «Coriolano» follows the Roman general Gaius Marcius, whose military merits clash with his rejection of the people and the political struggles of Rome.
Volume 197 of the Biblioteca Edaf collection, with a prologue and chronology by Miguel Ángel Salgüero Arroyo. Includes the translations by Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo and José A. Márquez.
Aimed at readers of classic theatre and those who enjoy world literature 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.
