Macbeth: Una traducción al español

by William Shakespeare, Autri (translator)

Adéntrate en el oscuro y traicionero mundo de la ambición, el poder y las fuerzas destructivas del destino en la obra maestra atemporal de William Shakespeare, 'Macbeth'.

Ambientada en el inquietante telón de fondo de la Escocia medieval, 'Macbeth' sigue el trágico descenso de su personaje titular, un valiente guerrero cuyo encuentro con tres brujas proféticas enciende un deseo consumidor por la supremacía. A medida que los susurros insidiosos de la ambición se apoderan, Macbeth y su ambiciosa esposa, Lady Macbeth, emprenden un viaje ensangrentado de traición y asesinato para apoderarse del trono.

Impulsado por un hambre implacable de poder y plagado de culpa y paranoia, Macbeth se encuentra atrapado en una red de su propia creación, donde cada elección lo lleva más hacia la oscuridad y la desesperación. A medida que los cuerpos se acumulan y el reino tambalea al borde del caos, el agarre de Macbeth en la realidad se debilita y su cordura se desenreda en un escalofriante crescendo de locura.

Un cuento atemporal sobre la moralidad y la influencia corruptora de la ambición descontrolada, 'Macbeth' sigue cautivando a las audiencias con su rico lenguaje, personajes complejos y temas inquietantes de culpa, destino y la naturaleza destructiva de la ambición desenfrenada.

Experimenta la envolvente tragedia de Shakespeare como nunca antes en esta edición definitiva de 'Macbeth', destinada a cautivar a los lectores durante generaciones.

About the author

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, three 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.
Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Sometime between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner ("sharer") of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men after the ascension of King James VI and I of Scotland to the English throne. At age 49 (around 1613), he appears to have retired to Stratford, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive; this has stimulated considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, his sexuality, his religious beliefs, and even certain fringe theories as to whether the works attributed to him were written by others.
Shakespeare produced most of his known works between 1589 and 1613. His early plays were primarily comedies and histories and are regarded as some of the best works produced in these genres. He then wrote mainly tragedies until 1608, among them Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, all considered to be among the finest works in the English language. In the last phase of his life, he wrote tragicomedies (also known as romances) and collaborated with other playwrights.
Many of Shakespeare's plays were published in editions of varying quality and accuracy during his lifetime. However, in 1623, John Heminge and Henry Condell, two fellow actors and friends of Shakespeare's, published a more definitive text known as the First Folio, a posthumous collected edition of Shakespeare's dramatic works that includes 36 of his plays. Its Preface was a prescient poem by Ben Jonson, a former rival of Shakespeare, that hailed Shakespeare with the now famous epithet: "not of an age, but for all time".

Corto pero bueno, el único detalle que le pondría es el español antiguo que a veces llega a ser confuso, que rollo macbeth si estabas bien esquizo

Uf... Adoro el teatro, pero: Virgensita, que por nadie pase. La idea en el siglo XVII debió ser una bomba, digo yo, desconozco verdaderamente, pero a día de hoy. G/u/rl... Entre leerla e ir a verla, supongo que recomiendo ir a verla.
