«La tempestad» is the play by William Shakespeare, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (512 pages, in Spanish and English).
Prospero, rightful Duke of Milan exiled to an island, lives there with his daughter Miranda and the spirit Ariel. His magic unleashes a storm that wrecks the ship of his enemies and, from there, he weaves a plan where revenge, power and the possibility of forgiveness coexist. The play is also a reflection on theatre and the playwright's craft.
Original title: The Tempest. Belongs to the Letras Universales collection, in its 6th edition, with a bilingual version by the Instituto Shakespeare directed by Manuel Ángel Conejero.
For literature and theatre students who want to read the classic with the original English text facing the Spanish translation.
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.
