Introducción de Carol Chillington Rutter, catedrática de la Universidad de Warwick.
Versión y epílogo de Agustín García Calvo, catedrático en Francia y España.
La tragedia de Macbeth, un violento y sanguinario mapa de la ambición humana, empieza en el preciso instante en que las hermanas fatídicas le revelan el esplendoroso futuro que le aguarda. Sus palabras parecen un canto de sirena surgido de las profundidades del infierno, una seducción que cualquier hombre sensato desoiría. Pero cuando se cumple la primera predicción y el rey Duncan le nombra barón de Cáudor para recompensar su inteligencia y destreza en el campo de batalla, las dudas, la codicia y la obsesión se apoderan de Macbeth y de su ávida esposa.
Frente al magnífico texto original presentamos la versión rítmica de Agustín García Calvo, uno de los humanistas más destacados del panorama español. Asimismo, viene acompañada de una introducción de Carol Chillington Rutter, catedrática de literatura inglesa de la Universidad de Warwick.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
One of the greatest tragedies by William Shakespeare and of world literature.
Introduction by Carol Chillington Rutter, professor at the University of Warwick.
Version and epilogue by Agustín García Calvo, professor in France and Spain.
One of the great Shakespearean tragedies, Macbeth is a dark and bloody drama of ambition, murder, guilt, and revenge. Prompted by the prophecies of three mysterious witches and goaded by his ambitious wife, the Scottish thane Macbeth murders Duncan, King of Scotland, in order to succeed him on the throne. This foul deed soon entangles the conscience-stricken nobleman in a web of treachery, deceit, and more murders, which ultimately spells his doom. Set amid the gloomy castles and lonely heaths of medieval Scotland, Macbeth paints a striking dramatic portrait of a man of honor and integrity destroyed by a fatal character flaw and the tortures of a guilty imagination.
Alongside the magnificent original text, we present the rhythmic version by Agustín García Calvo, one of the most prominent humanists on the Spanish scene. It is also accompanied by an introduction by Carol Chillington Rutter, professor of English literature at the University of Warwick.

For National Poetry Month in April, we are sharing poetry collections and books about poetry by authors who have their own stories to tell.
