Overview
Introducción de Adrian Poole, catedrático del Trinity College de Cambridge
Edición de Josep María Jaumà, catedrático de la Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
El tiempo no ha cerrado las heridas de los Montesco y los Capuleto, dos familias de Verona enemistadas por antiguos pleitos cuyo origen ya casi nadie alcanza a recordar. Con el odio llegó la violencia, y con la violencia, las primeras víctimas inocentes. Pero del odio nació también el amor entre dos jóvenes predestinados a la desventura: Romeo y Julieta. La suya es una de las historias más populares de todos los tiempos, a la vez que su trágico desenlace se ha convertido en un hito de la literatura universal, «pues jamás hubo tan triste suceso como este de Julieta y de Romeo».
Presentada en la extraordinaria versión del traductor Josep Maria Jaumà, esta edición bilingüe se abre con la esclarecedora introducción de Adrian Poole, catedrático del Trinity College de Cambridge, quien nos acerca a este gran canto a la juventud, a la pasión, al amor y a los peligros insoslayables del odio.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A carefully crafted bilingual edition of the most celebrated tragedy in literature. With an introduction by Adrian Poole, professor at Cambridge Trinity College. Edited by Josep Maria Jaumà, professor at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
Time has not healed the wounds of the Montague and the Capulet, two Verona families estranged by long-standing disputes whose origins almost no one can remember. With hate came violence, with violence came the first innocent victims. But this hatred also emerged from the love of two young people destined to misery: Romeo and Juliet. Theirs is one of the most popular stories of all time, and their tragic outcome has become a landmark of world literature, “for never was a story of much woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.”
Presented in the extraordinary version of translator Josep Maria Jaumà, this bilingual edition opens with an enlightening introduction by Adrian Poole, professor at Cambridge Trinity College, that brings us closer to this song of youth, passion, love, and the inescapable dangers of hate.
