Book Synopsis



Una obra imprescindible de Shakespeare sobre la ambición, el poder y la traición en el marco fascinante de la antigua Roma.

De regreso a Roma tras su exitosa campaña en España, Julio César se hace nombrar cónsul y dictador perpetuo. Es entonces cuando, en defensa de la República, Casio pone en marcha una conspiración para asesinarlo con ayuda del noble Bruto. Sin embargo, Marco Antonio volverá la opinión pública en contra de los conspiradores, en una jugada que llevará a los lectores a reflexionar sobre el honor, la ambición y la integridad.

En el imprescindible prólogo escrito para nuestra edición, el novelista y experto en literatura inglesa Santiago Posteguillo destaca la plena vigencia de esta pieza en la que el ejercicio de la autoridad llama a los peores excesos políticos.

«Todo el mundo debería leer la obra de teatro Julio César de Shakespeare, al menos, una vez en la vida». --Santiago Posteguillo

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

William Shakespeare's classic tragic play The Tragedy of Julius Caesar. Julius Caesar is the ultimate story of political intrigue, ambition, betrayal, and the fall of the Roman Republic.

It is one of several plays written by Shakespeare based on true events from Roman history, such as Coriolanus and Antony and Cleopatra.

The year is 44 BC and Julius Caesar is at the height of his powers. The play depicts the moral dilemma of Brutus as he joins a conspiracy formed by a group of Roman senators who realize that in order for the republic to be saved, they must murder Julius Caesar and prevent him from becoming dictator of Rome. But the senators have different motives: some are spurred on by envy of Caesar's greatness and others, by their patriotism and love for Rome. Unwittingly, they set the course for one of the bloodiest civil wars in history and the eventual collapse of the great Roman republic.

Although the play is named Julius Caesar, Brutus speaks more than four times as many lines as the title character; and the central psychological drama of the play focuses on Brutus' struggle between the conflicting demands of honor, patriotism, and friendship.

In the remarkable prologue written for this edition, novelist and English literature expert Santiago Posteguillo highlights the full legitimacy of this piece in which the exercise of authority calls for the worst political excesses.



About the Author



William Shakespeare ha sido considerado unánimemente como el escritor más importante de la literatura universal. Se mantiene que nació el 23 de abril de 1564 y consta que fue bautizado, tres días más tarde, en Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire.

Cuatro años después de su llegada a Londres hacia 1588, ya había obtenido un notable éxito como dramaturgo y actor teatral, lo que pronto le valió el mecenazgo de Henry Wriothesley, tercer conde de Southampton. De haberse dedicado únicamente a la poesía, Shakespeare habría pasado de todas formas a la historia por poemas como Venus y Adonis, La violación de Lucrecia o sus Sonetos. Sin embargo, fue en el campo del teatro donde Shakespeare realizó grandes y trascendentales logros. No en vano es el responsable principal del florecimiento del teatro isabelino, uno de los mascarones de proa de la incipiente hegemonía mundial de Inglaterra.

A lo largo de su carrera escribió, modificó y colaboró en decenas de obras teatrales, de las cuales podemos atribuirle plenamente treinta y ocho, que perviven en nuestros días gracias a su genio y talento. William Shakespeare murió el 23 de abril de 1616 en su ciudad natal, habiendo conocido el favor del público y el éxito económico.
