«La doma de la furia. El mercader de Venecia» is the theatre volume by William Shakespeare that brings together two comedies, published by Planeta in paperback (160 pages, in Spanish).
The volume contrasts two Shakespeare comedies: in «La doma de la furia» we witness the battle of wills between a man determined to subdue his wife and a woman of indomitable character; in «El mercader de Venecia», Portia's intelligence defuses the legal trap devised by the moneylender Shylock, in a plot where justice, revenge and prejudice are weighed in the courts of Venice.
The edition belongs to the Clásicos Universales Planeta collection (no. 33) and includes an introduction, translation and notes by José María Valverde.
Suitable for readers interested in classical theatre and in an edition that pairs two works to highlight the role of women in Elizabethan society.
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.
