«Romeo e Giulietta» is the tragedy by William Shakespeare, published by Rizzoli in paperback (272 pages, bilingual Italian-English edition).
The play tells of the youthful love between Romeo and Juliet, born amid the hatred between their families and the obstacles of chance. It is one of Shakespeare's most performed tragedies and combines the lyricism of the protagonists with figures such as Mercutio, whose contrast underscores the force of a passion that clashes with fate.
Edition with introduction, translation and notes by Gabriele Baldini; belongs to the BUR Teatro collection and was published in 1983.
Useful for literature students and for those who want to read this classic by comparing the English and Italian texts.
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.
