Synopsis "Pericles (in English)"
Likely written around 1607 or 1608 and attributed at least in part to Shakespeare, "Pericles, Prince of Tyre" is an adventure-filled play that follows the extended sailing journeys of a young prince. Pericles, a young prince from Phoenicia, is forced to flee Antioch when he correctly guesses a riddle that reveals the incestuous activity of King Antiochus. Unable to stay at home in Tyre because of Antiochus' vengeance, he sails away and ends up shipwrecked in Pentapolis, where he fights in a tournament and wins the hand of a princess named Thaisa in marriage. Pericles and Thaisa face many trials, tribulations, and a long separation. Their struggles, and those of their daughter Marina, fill the remaining acts of "Pericles" with misfortune and grief, as well as joy and a truly heartwarming reunion. A laudable and entertaining component of Shakespeare's collection of plays, "Pericles" was one of his most popular works during his own lifetime and continues to be performed as part of modern revivals and festivals. Pericles' epic adventures remain a compelling story of family and struggle that continues to resonate with readers to this day. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, includes annotations by Henry N. Hudson, and an introduction by Charles H. Herford.
William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. 23 de abril de 1564jul. - Ibídem, 23 de abril/3 de mayo de 1616) fue un dramaturgo, poeta y actor inglés. Conocido en ocasiones como el Bardo de Avon (o simplemente el Bardo), se le considera el escritor más importante en lengua inglesa y uno de los más célebres de la literatura universal.
Según la Encyclopædia Britannica, «Shakespeare es generalmente reconocido como el más grande de los escritores de todos los tiempos, figura única en la historia de la literatura. La fama de otros poetas, tales como Homero y Dante Alighieri, o de novelistas tales como León Tolstoy o Charles Dickens, ha trascendido las barreras nacionales, pero ninguno de ellos ha llegado a alcanzar la reputación de Shakespeare, cuyas obras hoy se leen y representan con mayor frecuencia y en más países que nunca. La profecía de uno de sus grandes contemporáneos, Ben Jonson, se ha cumplido por tanto: "Shakespeare no pertenece a una sola época sino a la eternidad"».
