Sueño de una noche de verano / Píramo y Tisbe

Rate this book
Una cálida noche de verano, cuatro jóvenes enamorados se pierden en el bosque, mientras en un claro, un grupo de improvisados actores ensaya, a la luz de la luna, una triste historia de amor para representar en una boda. Víctimas de los caprichosos designios de hadas y de duendes, estos mortales viven extrañas aventuras que los hacen reflexionar sobre los misterios del amor. Shakespeare juega con el “teatro dentro del teatro y hace representar a sus cómicos actores la triste historia de Píramo y Tisbe, dos jóvenes que viven un amor prohibido por sus respectivas familias. Este relato está registrado en las Metamorfosis del poeta latino Ovidio y el genial dramaturgo inglés lo utiliza para elaborar la tragedia Romeo y Julieta y, en forma festiva, para tejer la trama de esta comedia, estrenada en Londres en 1595.

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".

Lo que me encanta de leer a Shakespeare es su prosa, que logra que se diferencie de otros autores del género.

Sueño de una noche de verano ocurre en la noche del solsticio, donde la magia y la tragedia se entremezclan.
Hermia, Dimetrio, Lisandro y Helena son los protagonistas de esta novela, los trágicos amantes que no reciben el amor que dan.

Lisandro y Hermia deciden huir fuera de Atenas debido a que su amor no es permitido por el padre de esta, siendo obligada de casarse con Dimetrio.
Mientras tanto Helena ama a Dimetrio, pero su amor no es correspondido.

Eso hará que de mala suerte se encuentren con Oberón y Titania, el rey de los elfos y reina de las hadas.
Quienes harán que entre confusos ordenamientos, Lisandro y Demetrio se enamoren de Helena.

Trágica, cómica, romántica.
Sueño de una noche de Verano es un descanso entre lo juvenil.
Shakespeare nunca pasa de moda.

Excepcionalmente hermosa, de los pocos libros que he leído de esta categoría, pero que ha hecho que me enamore de este genero cada vez un poco más, la trama se distribuye bastante bien cada parte muestra un universo de sentimientos de lo mas bonito del mundo y hace que el lector se introduzca tanto en la historia; hasta tal punto de llegar a sentir lo mismo que sienten los personajes y sentirse hasta en el mismo ambiente de ellos, es un libro que para aquellos a quienes les gusta lo romántico y el amor en toda su expresión se puede llegar a convertir en una de sus obras favorita, increíblemente buena de verdad... Que pluma la de Shakespeare. - Los libros Nos Hacen Viajar por el mundo y por épocas y uno como estos es maravilloso dejarse llevar por el...

Cuando leo obras de teatro tiendo a saltarme los nombres y leer solo los diálogos. Gracias a que los personajes de Shakespeare estan tan bien creados, son tan sólidos, no tengo ningún problema identificando a cada personaje y eso dice mucho.
