«Sobre el poder» is an anthology of William Shakespeare's texts on power, published by Taurus in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together Shakespearean passages and sonnets that explore power in its amorous, warlike, political and familial forms. The ambitions of Macbeth, the fragile dominion of Richard II, the rivalries of King Lear and the poetry of the love sonnets show how characters manipulate and dominate one another with psychological depth.
Volume 7 of the Taurus Great Ideas collection, in its second edition (March 2012). The texts, translated into Spanish, come from the original English.
For general readers aged 16 and over interested in Shakespeare, classical theatre and great ideas.
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.
