«Julio César» is the play by William Shakespeare published by Espasa Calpe in paperback (170 pages, in Spanish).
The play recreates the political tension in Rome around Julius Caesar and the struggles that erupt afterwards. Shakespeare portrays ambition, loyalty and rhetoric, builds characters with lights and shadows, draws on Plutarch and underlines the whims of fate in a seemingly simple piece of great depth.
Edition and translation by Ángel-Luis Pujante. Volume 168 of the Austral Collection. Second corrected edition.
A work frequently read in schools and universities, also suitable for those who want to start out in classical theatre.
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.
