«El rey Lear. Othello, el moro de Venecia» is the paperback volume that brings together two tragedies by William Shakespeare, published by Planeta (206 pages).
King Lear deals with the exercise of power and filial ingratitude, leading to madness; Othello, the Moor of Venice, moves between jealousy and manipulation to show the destruction they cause. Two tragedies that, according to the introduction to this edition, should be read imagining the theatrical performance, as action of words.
It belongs to the Planeta Universal Classics collection, number 12. It includes an introduction, translation and notes by José María Valverde; the translated works are King Lear and Othello.
Suitable for readers new to classical theatre and for those who value editions with introduction and notes.
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.
