Una selecci?n de las citas m?s valiosas que ha dado la obra de William Shakespeare.

Lo extraordinario de Shakespeare es que es realmente muy bueno, a pesar de cuantos dicen que es muy bueno. Robert Graves

William Shakespeare es en muchos aspectos uno de los autores m?s f?rtiles de la literatura universal. Su obra ha dado una innumerable cantidad de reflexiones, aforismos, pensamientos de gran belleza y versos de enorme fuerza po?tica. ?ngel-Luis Pujante, traductor y estudioso de la obra de Shakespeare, ofrece aqu? una valiosa selecci?n de sus citas m?s importantes. La presente antolog?a refleja la impresionante variedad de registros que exhibe la obra del bardo ingl?s. En este sentido, viene a subsanar un sesgo hist?rico que solo permit?a acceder al Shakespeare grave, sabio y sentencioso, y, sin ocultar la gran carga humor?stica que hay en sus obras, ofrece una imagen del autor que se ajusta al maravilloso poliedro que es el gran dramaturgo ingl?s.

En esta edici?n se a?ade a cada cita el t?tulo de la obra, y el acto y la escena de la que procede, as? como el nombre del personaje hablante y, cuando es conveniente o necesario, tambi?n una breve nota contextual. Con m?s de 400 citas breves, y 32 pasajes selectos, el n?mero total de citas de Shakespeare aqu? reunidas es superior al de las recogidas en las escasas antolog?as publicadas hasta ahora en Espa?a.

A selection of the most valuable quotes from the works of William Shakespeare.

"The extraordinary thing about Shakespeare is that he is really very good, in spite of all the people who say he is very good." Robert Graves

In many ways, William Shakespeare is one of the most prolific authors in world literature. His work has produced an innumerable amount of reflections, aphorisms, thoughts of great beauty, and verses of enormous poetic strength. ?ngel-Luis Pujante, a translator and scholar of Shakespeare's work, offers here a valuable selection of his most important quotes. This anthology reflects the impressive variety of registers exhibited in the works of the English bard. In this sense, it aims to correct a historical bias that only allowed access to the serious, wise, and sententious Shakespeare, and, without hiding the great humor present in his works, it offers an image of the author that fits the wonderful multifaceted nature of the great English playwright.

In this edition, each quote is accompanied by the title of the work, the act and scene from which it comes, as well as the name of the speaking character and, when convenient or necessary, a brief contextual note. With more than 400 brief quotes and 32 selected passages, the total number of Shakespeare quotes gathered here surpasses those in the few anthologies published in Spain so far.
