Henry IV, Part 1 is a history play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written no later than 1597. It is the second of Shakespeares tetralogy that deals with the successive reigns of Richard II, Henry IV (2 plays), and Henry V. Henry IV, Part 1 depicts a span of history that begins with Hotspurs battle at Homildon against the Douglas late in 1402 and ends with the defeat of the rebels at Shrewsbury in the middle of 1403. From the start it has been an extremely popular play both with the public and the critics.

Obra en la que brilla con especial fuerza el genio de William Shakespeare (1564-1616), la tragedia de Hamlet traza el admirable retrato de un legendario príncipe de Dinamarca soñador, contemplativo, sumido en dudas e irresoluciones, que, obligado a esclarecer los motivos que llevaron a la muerte de su padre, sucumbe ante la fatalidad de las circunstancias. Su ambiguedad, su ambivalencia y su desorientacion lo aproximan notablemente a la sensibilidad de nuestra epoca. Poblada, como señala en su prologo Vicente Molina Foix, por una abundante y compleja galeria de personajes secundarios, la obra ha gozado de una constante vigencia a lo largo del tiempo, que ha hecho que se incorporen al lenguaje comun numerosas expresiones de la obra (ser o no ser, palabras, palabras, palabras, lo demas es silencio) que han llegado a hacerse emblematicas.

Este libro nace ante la necesidad de trabajar la literatura clásica, sin otro afán que el de poder ser representada por esos niños que a veces están entre el sueño y la vigilia, esos niños que van despertando de una vida infantil, pero que sueñan y juegan a ser hombres. Se trata de adaptaciones de obras clásicas, con la intención de que la historia pueda ser contada sin perjuicio alguno, ni del argumento, ni del estilo, ni por supuesto del mensaje. Se mantienen párrafos completos, se suprimen o se crean personajes siempre manteniendo el estilo del autor. No se trata de un resumen, tampoco de una copia; es una manera de llevar obras de ensueño a niños que no tienen aún las herramientas necesarias para enfrentarse a ellas. Es una forma de introducirlos en la literatura clásica para que no sólo puedan leerla, sino para que puedan representarla, soñando ser actores y actrices de obras de gran categoría literaria.

Collection containing Cymbeline, Pericles, The Tempest, The Winter’s Tale, the best Shakespeares romances.

Edición bilingÁe de Andres Ehrenhaus. Prólogo de Claudio Guillen. Esta edición restituye los Sonetos en su integridad, junto con el poema Lamento de una amante, tal como fueron publicados por primera vez en 1609. Sonetos es una de las obras que mas polemica y conjeturas ha suscitado: desde quien se oculta tras las iniciales W. H. de la dedicatoria hasta que identidades tienen la dama oscura, el hermoso joven o el poeta rival a quienes van dirigidos los poemas. Pero su riqueza esta por encima del misterio que los envuelve, y es que Shakespeare supo atrapar como nadie en sus versos los matices del sentimiento amoroso: los celos, la pasion, la amistad confundida con el amor... Lamento de una amante, considerada inseparable de los 154 sonetos que la preceden, cierra el libro con un hermoso mensaje: por mas sufrimiento que el amor provoque, todo el mundo acaba sucumbiendo ante su fuerza.
