  1. Antony and Cleopatra

    COP $ 28.000
    Antony and Cleopatra is one of Shakespeare\'s greatest tragedies: a spectacular, widely-ranging drama of love and war, passion and politics. Antony is divided between the responsibilities of Imperial power and the intensities of his sexual relationship with Cleopatra. She, variously generous and ruthless, loving and Jealous, petulant and majestic, emerges as Shakespeare´s most complex depiction of a woman: "Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety.\'"Unsurpassed in sumptuous eloquence and powerful characterisation. Antony and Cleopatra deservedly retains its popularity in the theatre, its insights into the corruptions of power and the ambiguities of desire remain timely. This volume is part of the new Wordsworth Classics\' Shakespeare Series, in which each volume has been freshly edited by Cedric Watts.Nota: el contenido de este libro se encuentra en inglés.

  2. The great comedies and tragedies

    COP $ 48.000
    These comedies are among the best loved of Shakespeare\'s plays. In each a problem emerges, is then intensified to a point of maximum confusion and potential upset, before the chaos is resolved, however improbably, into general goodwill and a spate of marriages. The triumph of these plays lies in the way they mingle humorous stage business and dexterous word play with a more serious study of identity, gender, dreaming, the meaning of love, even of the theatre itself They reassure us that with al! its faults, the world will always in the end be redeemable. Not for an age but for all time.\' So Ben Jonson established what we now take for granted: Shakespeare\'s unique place among the world\'s great authors. Romeo and Juliet shows us the archetypal story of fated young love; Hamlet, the tortured psyche of the young prince of Denmark; Othello, a strikingly modern representation of racial difference; King Lear, aman stripped of all material and psychological comforts; and Macbeth, a dark investigation of the origins and effects of evil. The plays throw a fascinating light on the concerns of Shakespeare\'s day, yet offer perennial insights into the nature of human emotion.Nota: el contenido de este libro se encuentra en inglés.Not for an age but for all time.\' So Ben Jonson established what we now take for granted: Shakespeare\'s unique place among the world\'s great authors.

Its powerful patriotic rhetoric has resounded down the ages, gaining eloquent expression in Laurence Oliviers renowned film.
