Overview

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.

About the Author

About The Author

Widely esteemed as the greatest writer in the English language, William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an actor and theatrical producer in addition to writing plays and sonnets. Dubbed "The Bard of Avon," Shakespeare oversaw the building of the Globe Theatre in London, where a number of his plays were staged, the best-known of which include Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth. The First Folio, a printed book of 36 of his comedies, tragedies, and history plays, was published in 1623.
