«Giulio Cesare» is the tragedy by William Shakespeare published by Newton Compton Editori in paperback (100 pages, in Italian).
Set in ancient Rome, the play pits Caesar's supporters against the defenders of the republic and lacks a conventional protagonist: Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, Antony and Octavius embody conflicting ideologies. It exposes the tension between Caesarism and republicanism and the shift from an Aristotelian and Ptolemaic worldview to one marked by Copernicus, Bacon and Galileo.
«Giulio Cesare» is the first of Shakespeare's three Roman tragedies. This Italian edition, translated by Flavio Giacomantonio, came out in 1996 in the Tascabili economici Newton series.
Aimed at literature students and readers who want to approach Shakespeare's theatre in Italian.
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.
