Cover of Hamlet - The First Quarto (Sos)

The first in a series on Shakespeare's original texts, including facsimile pages, this version of "Hamlet" is claimed to be, in some ways, the most authentic version of the play that we have. Included are an introduction, notes, and a theoretical, historical and contextual critique. This text has been rejected by scholars as a "bad Quarto" - corrupt and pirated text printed without the permission of the playwright or his company. Nonetheless, it was the first version of the play to be published and it has been produced in the modern theatre with success. This new edition of that Quarto seeks to acknowledge the play's distinctive poetic and dramatic qualities, instead of comparing them unfavourably to one of the other versions.

Cover of Romeo y Julieta

Romeo y Julieta

by William Shakespeare

Published 1 January 1979
Romeo y Julieta se cuenta entre "las cinco grandes tragedias"; de William Shakespeare (1564-1616), una de las mas celebres del teatro universal. Siendo como es de creacion juvenil, esta obra se caracteriza por su tono lirico. Su tema, procedente de la literatura italiana, le confiere una atmosfera luminosa que contrasta con el sombrio ambiente nordico de sus otras tragedias. La dramatica atraccion de los dos protagonistas es reconocida como uno de los mejores ejemplos de amor imposible. La traduccion es de Pablo Neruda.
