Synopsis "Pericles, Principe de Tiro (in Spanish)"

Pericles, príncipe de Tiro es la primera obra del ciclo final que culminaría con La tempestad, en el que reina el mundo de lo maravilloso propio de los libros de aventuras (romances) sobre el trasfondo de los mitos esenciales de la experiencia humana (nacimiento y muerte, amor y pérdida, sufrimiento y regeneración). El largo itinerario del protagonista confluye en la que, según T. S. Eliot, es la mejor escena de anagnórisis jamás escrita.

William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. April 23, 1564jul. - Ibid., April 23/May 3, 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. Often known as the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard), he is considered the most important writer in the English language and one of the most famous in world literature.

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, "Shakespeare is generally acknowledged as the greatest of all time writers, a unique figure in the history of literature. The fame of other poets, such as Homer and Dante Alighieri, or novelists such as Leo Tolstoy or Charles Dickens, has transcended national barriers, but none has achieved the reputation of Shakespeare, whose works today are read and performed more frequently and in more countries than ever. The prophecy of one of his great contemporaries, Ben Jonson, has thus been fulfilled: 'Shakespeare does not belong to one age but to eternity'".

Among his most notable works are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. His ability to portray the complexities of human nature, along with his mastery in the use of verse and language, has made him a timeless figure.
