Description
Translated in the 1940s by a Basque patriot sailing away from the wreckage of war-devastated Europe for exile in Venezuela, Shakespeare's classic play was rendered into Basque with incredible care and with a political subtext brought about by events four hundred years after its composition, but that still contained similar meaning in a world turned upside down following the victory of Franco and the defeat of the Basque nationalist cause. With a full detailed English introduction by Xabier Irujo, this masterpiece as you've never seen it before.

Author:
Shakespeare, William
Arguably the greatest English-language playwright, William Shakespeare was a seventeenth-century writer and dramatist, and is known as the Bard of Avon. Under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth I, he penned more than 30 plays, 154 sonnets, and numerous narrative poems and short verses. Equally accomplished in histories, tragedies, comedy, and romance, Shakespeare s most famous works include Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, The Taming of the Shrew, and As You Like It.
Like many of his contemporaries, including Christopher Marlowe, Shakespeare began his career on the stage, eventually rising to become part-owner of Lord Chamberlain s Men, a popular dramatic company of his day, and of the storied Globe Theatre in London.
Extremely popular in his lifetime, Shakespeare s works continue to resonate more than three hundred years after his death. His plays are performed more often than any other playwright s, have been translated into every major language in the world, and are studied widely by scholars and students.
